Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 01, 2012

The tree through the box bed is a nice touch.

You don’t have to be a plugger for this to happen……most of the houses around here have one or more of these in the front garden.

As kids we had fun in one of those old clunkers until Tink had an “accident” after seeing a fiddle back (a brown recluse spider) in between the seats!

That tree is not growing through the bed of the truck, it is growing IN the bed of the truck. A common occurrence around here is for straw to be left in the bed of the truck and the wheat or oats will sprout and be 3 to 6 inches tall before the owner will clean it out…..

Now he can park in the shade even when there isn’t any shade.

this is an example of the times old an new I think, the truck is rusting under solar power and blowin’ in the wind

My husband told me a story once about how his sister-in-law couldn’t part with an old car her husband (my husband’s brother) bought her sometime back in the 1970’s so when she had to get a newer one, rather than sell the old one to someone who could really use it, she parked it in their backyard. After a few years, a tree grew up through the rotted floorboards inside the car and then went through the rotted roof! Eventually, they had to have it towed away and junked.
