Usually not much metal, but sometimes they would hit the mother lode if they came the day after the store refitters had thrown all the old store shelving and supports away, or we had just scrapped the 400 pounds or so of aluminum security gates from a pharmacy expansion.<br /><br />My only rule was...I'm not responsible if they get hurt and they cannot leave a mess.Mike Guentherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760305520055214986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-8992296734321520822022-02-19T07:35:23.653-05:002022-02-19T07:35:23.653-05:00BothBothAssistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-80549347087049444682022-02-19T01:14:47.602-05:002022-02-19T01:14:47.602-05:00That does not look like the typical Mary Kay vehic...That does not look like the typical Mary Kay vehicle or Mary Kay items. I'd also be concerned.<br /><br />My oldest granddaughter got her learner's permit about a week ago, on her 15th birthday. Probably because I am older now, I'm much more nervous about her being on the road than I was about her mother who got her full license at the same age. Then again, her mother was driving herself to the airport for flying lessons at 15. She soloed in a Cessna 150 on her 16th birthday -- the same age my granddaughter can solo in a car.<br /><br />Are we too overprotective now, or were we idiots 30-40 years ago?<br /><br />Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-3627545534952920432022-02-19T01:13:33.620-05:002022-02-19T01:13:33.620-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-41587450020995616852022-02-18T21:47:41.276-05:002022-02-18T21:47:41.276-05:00Good catch.
