@HumanEarth I really appreciated your well thought out and written reply. Not many take the time.

@HumanEarth One thing I have to say in favor of cars and trucks. I have never had to chase my car around a cold muddy pasture just to get somewhere to buy groceries nor does the car play the game of a couple of steps foreword when you are trying to get inside of it.

@HumanEarth My uncle bought a family farm and bought 2 mules to farm it with. This was around the time of WWII when gasoline and tires were rationed. There was a huge mule farm around Chillicothe Missouri to buy mules from back then. He bought a tractor when he had enough money saved up after WWII, no rationing of gas and tires after the war either.

@Adrift Yep, I did all that for a while. I remember that well.

@LadyGrace I remember most people used cloth in the 60s and early 70s because disposable diapers were too expensive.
I used to babysit and I could never seem to fold them right.

@Adrift Yep! 😊 And they had those great big old diaper pins haha

@EBSVC remember AAA triptek maps. They were awesome.

@4thdimensiondream Are those the ones you get from welcome centers? I remember those from road trips with my parents

@EBSVC yes they would highlight the routes. They were fun to use.

@MarineBob self driving taxis.

@Adrift ugh! I heard one just hit a kid

@4thdimensiondream Yeah, I dont trust anything that you cant override and take over the wheel.
