After we finished the job for the day and got back to the shop, someone would always pickup a case of beer, which the crew polished off while cleaning out the trucks, putting up the tools, etc. We'd stand around the cooler for a spell, and when it was time for Mike to head home, he'd announce he's leaving, grab a beer, then pause and take a second while loudly declaring "Better get one for the ditch!"
I worked there 2 months before I knew what he meant...
A not intoxicated elderly lady was hidden off in the weeds beside I-10 for almost a week before being found 1/2 submerged and trapped. I passed that location twice daily during that time. She survived, in spite of mosquitos. ~ mississloppigarro
