Going home one night, about 40 years ago, driving a 3/4 ton Dodge van.
Going too fast to even hit the brake, I saw what I first thought was a horse or cow laying across the road, something big and brown.
I braced for impact, but nothing...
Did I just have an hallucination?
Then I heard a scraping sound, pulled over, looked under, there was a huge roll of rusty chicken wire wedged between the floor and the drive shaft!
I was close to home so I just drove on slowly. Got home and pulled the drive shaft to get it out, no damage done.
Then here came an old whisky beat pick up with side boards and stacked with more rolls of rusty chicken wire. He had lost one. I still don't know how he found me.
The old man was livid! I had ruined his roll of wire that was laying in the middle of the street!
First he wanted to fight, then he wanted me to pay for it...
I told him I could get the sheriffs dept out here to settle it if he really wanted to.
I think at that point he decided a roll of chicken wire wasn't worth a DUI...

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
