    3. You're obviously unfamiliar with the Southern custom of toting the kids around in the back of the truck. I rode all over my home state of Georgia and parts of five other states in the back of our family pickup - 1965 Chevrolet Stepside - during the 1970s.

  2. Many years ago Thee Gud Wyfe gifted me with a photo safari at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Riding in the back of trucks and feeding animals is cool. Rhinos slobber! Giraffes get real competitive going after carrots. One slung her head around and damn near knocked me out of the truck. Big heads!

    1. The monkeys stand for honesty
      Giraffes are insincere
      And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb
      Orangutans are skeptical
      Of changes in their cages
      And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
      Zebras are reactionaries
      Antelopes are missionaries
      Pigeons plot in secrecy
      And hamsters turn on frequently...

  3. Took my family there when the boys were little. Wildlife can get real aggressive about food sources.

  7. Just a quick FYI….

    Toten in German means

    As a verb… to kill

    As a Noun… the Dead
