the workers seem pretty relaxed, though...

Depends on how fast they were going, I guess. Seems unlikely that an earth mover that size would be capable of getting to highway speed. Still seems more dangerous than riding in a truck bed—and in most states in the US, they don’t want you to do that.

@sabergirl another example of American dumbassery. Maybe because if you're thrown from the truck you won't be able to pay for medical

[sabergirl]

Yeah, we are definitely better off with as few broken bones as possible.

It was slow, maybe 20-25 km/h. And they weren’t going very far. About 6 to 8 km ahead, overnight rain had dragged mud and rocks on the highway and they were going to clear that up.

I have fond memories of riding in the bucket of tractors. Every spring after the fields were freshly plowed, we would need to pick stones off the field prior to the year’s plantings. The reason we would do this is so that the stones wouldn’t get caught in the combine heads and break machinery. After walking the fields all day in loose soil, any time where you weren’t walking was much needed.

Not saying it’s safe, nor smart, but sometimes it’s a necessity so that you can keep doing a back breaking job. Just my $.02.

For those celebrating Mother’s Day on Sunday, this is your friendly reminder not to cock it up and forget…you still have a few days before you’re in the doghouse.

@goosehd first time I have read the words "mother's" and "cock" in one sentence but every day is a new day. I bought my mom a pair of tear drop shaped earrings made of sterling silver and amethyst.

[louisbosco]

mother or mother in law.. that is the difference

[Kasi]

When my mum was alive I called it mother day every day.
