They ought to shoot whoever is in the truck if they find it occupied... NO QUESTIONS ASKED.... STOP ALL THIS .... I feel so bad for her, and her family...hope she did not live through the first few seconds, to not die in total terror but too quick to react and suffer the mental anguish. That...

Dry Shod are better boots than muck boots and will last longer. Still expensive... Yep, plastic grocery bags over the socks into boots... also makes it easier to get a shoe out of the old fashioned "galoshes" that you pull on over shoes... most dairyman use them over their workshoes when in the...
