The other day, I found myself behind an International Harvester on Highway FF, and I thought of the Craig Morgan song.
This vehicle managed a speed of 15 mph along the state highway, but the song says:
Hoggin’ up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
Chug a lug a luggin’ 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester
However, this particular unit was a harvester, not a plower, so my experience does not counter the song.
I do, however, wonder what the combine was doing down by us. Most of the “crops” grown around here are hay. I can’t think where we have a field of wheat or corn big enough to warrant a combine.
Although perhaps that means I should get back into the habit of driving around exploring. I did that a bunch when my children were really young; we’d hop into the car to go for a ride and just drive around. Now that they’re older, we’re busy and don’t go driving around almost aimlessly. Which is a little sad.
(Previously, I mentioned this song in 2008.)
