The Town In Which We Live, by Geoff Gibson

We live in Oklahoma. Our town has all the modern advances in transportation technology. But when all else fails, you can always just hook up a trailer to your riding lawn mower and use that! I see this couple occasionally around town, and I still can't believe it. I worry about this man's wife (or perhaps his mother; it's hard to say for sure), because she might fall out of her chair in an accident or perhaps a brisk wind. But closer inspection reveals that the chair is tied down securely with straps, so she should be ok. At the Pump: Gas prices are no match for Oklahoma know-how! This is the local answer to those new-fangled "hybrid" vehicles those hippies enjoy so much out there in California. At the Store: You don't need a minivan or SUV to hold all your groceries. This trailer beats them all when it comes to storage space. Plus, there is no actual limit to the amount of stuff you can put back there, as long as you still leave room for Mother. Recent Picture: The chilly December wind is no match for this family; they will get out there and get their shopping done no matter what it takes. Hold on, Grandma! Legal note: I am not a stalker; this family just drives around town all the time this way. But not to worry...I doubt that this family uses the internet much. They are probably too busy, with all the time they put in on the road. Thanks to my friend Dave for taking the pictures; I need to get a good camera I can have with me all the time, so I too can be ready to capture the priceless moments (such as following people around town taking pictures of them as they shop).
