    The old days. Going thru Louisville around KY Derby Days. 6 of us going north with stock cattle. Clocking off the lights click, click, click. Pretty ladies with the big hats in the sharp
    convertibles of the young dudes...Alongside, Oh, there's cows... Missed a light, convoy eases
    to a halt. Cattle shift their footing and urinate-defecate. Hats get splattered, lights ignored.

    They run under different constraints, responsibilities, and worries. When I see one in my mirror, I get out of the way. Kind of like an ambulance.

    Not that I’m aware of
    Some days it won’t get out if it’s own way

    Movement with the vents open on the old trailers . Heat affects hogs worse. Coming out of
    E. St. Louis (National City ) stockyards we would load by 4pm, run down #3 to Cairo and. wet
    them down a little with a water hose while fueling. Then it was KY or MO bridge, depending
    on KY weighing, running thru the night. Moo cows and sooie pigs walk on and off. Stockyards
    has an open gate 24 hour a day. Not much sitting...
