    Everyone's homes and living spaces should be as "disgusting" as that CLEAN layer of fur, along with the CLEAN inside of that truck.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    That furry floor looks more comfy that my furry slippers I had to wear in my Western Star with its glorious heating choice of frozen feet or scraping the inside of the windows every 10 minutes

    When I first started I drove in sandals.

    Then one day on I-10 in the CA desert 1/4 mile ahead of me a motorhome towing a jeep went off the road and ended up on it's side, moma got ejected. I think they blew a steer but not sure.

    Anyway, within just seconds I went from driving mode to first responder and found myself off road in rock, gravel, sticks and brush in my flip flops.

    There's no doubt the lack of shoes impeded me and that was the last time I didn't have real shoes on my feet while driving. You just never know when you may need to jump into action and bare feet just won't cut it.

    So are we all just going to avoid making "Blue Balls" comments regarding Long FLD's interior pic?.

    I'm sure the help was greatly appreciated and you are commended for doing so.

    I've been first on the scene numerous times in the winter and you can be darned sure I'm not going to get out without putting on my boots, coat, toque and gloves. How long does it take to put on a pair of boots? Firemen don't sleep in their turnout gear.

    Easy pal before you end up on an episode of Maury. No one asked you.

    I have no idea what "Maury" is, but I'm sure I don't swing that way... not that there's anything wrong that you do.
