[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 225157, member: 704"] Your welcome. Speaking of pickups ------ I had a friend who lived on the border of Arrowwood refuge. I would stop in often after a morning hunt and have coffee with him. The kid would be glued to the TV watching Captain Kangaroo. Well the kid grew up, and the old fellow passed on. When we stopped at the farm one day to say hello the kid couldn't even remember who we were. I was driving a new pickup (the first I ever owned) and he kept staring at it. Finally he tells me how hard farming is and he will never have a new pickup. Then he tells us his second job of driving school bus interferes with his family vacation of taking the whole family to Jamaica for two weeks. Well I could never afford that vacation, but I'm happy for him. Then next month we talk to him and he is driving the most decked out GMC Denali that I had ever laid eyes on. Again happy for him, but I could do without the bs of how tough it is for him. One needs to learn not to whine to people when they have much less than them. It's like a millionaire whining to a guy on food stamps. I guess it's human nature for people to think others have it better. Who knows????? In America most of us are rich compared to much of the world. We all need to learn to be appreciative of what we have. Edit: Ya ya I know a few will whine about another story. [/QUOTE]
