Back in the middle of summer sometime in the late '80s, I read in the paper about a semi full of chocolate syrup from the Hershey's plant in Oakdale got hit by a train the day before right outside Escalon, so I jumped in the truck to go check out the accident scene. No, it doesn't take much to entertain me.
I could see a dark haze a half mile out. Clouds and clouds of flies. They were so thick that even with my windows up I was still getting flies in the cab somehow - either that or the resident truck flies smelled the chocolate as we approached and got excited.
