I was employed in the county jail about 30 years ago- a pleasant old gent was serving 6 months for driving under the influence. Turns out he had lost his license years ago, and took to driving his 9N Ford to town. Most of the trips ended up with a visit to the local watering hole. Perfectly legal, as no license is required to operate a tractor on public roads in Washington, but he ran afoul of the DUI laws- operating any motorized vehicle while under the influence is illegal. He thought he had discovered the ultimate loophole, but his loophole became a noose.

The "rest of the story" is that we had bought a small farm that spring, and didn't have any equipment yet- so I hired a guy to cut, rake and bale my hay. I came home from the jail one evening, and our hay was cut, but so was all the grass around the buildings, in the orchard, etc. My wife related that a little old man had cut the hay, then came to the house and asked if he could cut the grass around the buildings, etc. She asked how much it would cost, and he said, "No charge- your husband was the only guy at the jail who treated my like a human being, and I would like to do something for him." My dad told me early on that what goes around, comes around, and I have seen it time after time.
