Now if that was a load of Texas Black Diamonds, you could park that bus anywhere in east Texas and have them sold by noon.

Thank God also for Jose,Manuel,Cesar,Martinez,Javiar and Hectar and $6.00 per hour wages or what ever they are getting it's probably not enough but what oppurtunity do these fellows have except this kind of work.I'm not passing judgement any way just thinking back to the early to mid 1940's when my Dad raised Melons near Havana ILL. and as Harvest time approached the Teen Agers were banging on the Door for a Melon picking Job a month before Melons were ripe. Now sad to say but the Teen Agers I see do not even know what a field of Melons look like ,unless they are Hispanic,let alone have any ambition for manual labor such as I and many others on this Forum experienced in our youth. Now it is a different time of History and some one born in 1937 can not understand how it works for young people to establish any kind of moral or ambitional hope for their young lives given the World as it has progressed to at this point. I will never have a clue so I best shut up.Bye

Just saw 6 of them lined up just down the road the other day. First noticed them around here in SW Michigan a couple years back. Looks like alot of work to unload unless you park on hill and open the emergency door ;>)

They have to be unloaded by hand regardless, and at least with the "Bluebird Special" you can stand in the shade :>)
