http://goinglikesixty.com/2007/09/27/my-dump-picking-started-when-i-was-young/ Baby Boomer guy writing about stuff of interest primarily to boomers, or people who know one. No politics, few rants, attempted humor. Suitably old, mysteriously advanced.

Except our truck was a station wagon but our trailer was absolutely homegrown. The axle was from a 32 chevy (rear end, complete with differential) and the wheels had 16" winter tires from our old 64 Checker Marathon (yup, the cars they made taxis out of. I grew up in the back seat). We never had to change those tires. Oh now, you’ve just brought back way too many memories of me and my father to think about at once.
