Re: [RC] Forward--To the Past - Barbara McCrary

My husband's grandfather used to drive into town, about 20 miles away, and go to friends to stay overnight. He would go downtown the next day, pay his bills and do his shopping, and then drive home again. His team was a work team and I think he drove some sort of wagon, as he was not in the financial position to afford a light, fast driving horse and a buggy. He usually took at least one neighbor with him.

Who knew that this technology already existed? I think it's suppression is just another clandestine conspiracy from those greedy and
powerful oil companies.


I was going to sell my antique oak meadowbrook cart and I still may, but only to buy a lighter more efficient cart - have the horse - have the harness.

However, I've talked with some of the real old timers out where we live and they remember making the trip to town, 25 miles from here, a two day trip with a wagon and team. I might have to re-think my errand schedule.
