Is this posted on the net somewhere?

Well, to put myself through college, I was a carpenter, in Austin.  One
of the houses I built was a big three story on Spicewood Springs (those
from Austin will know this road).  At that time, the tin (?) roofs
where just coming out and only the *real* expensive houses had them
(not counting pole barns).  Anyway, this house had the tin roofs, and
yes you can get sunburned *real* badly.

Yes, but those trucks move all over.  If he took a 2nd out on his house
and rented it one-way, the NM truck would be in CA.  Down here in TX, I
only seen one TX truck and many more from Montana.  (BTW, it just
dawned on me that you might think I'm talking about license plates.
Actually, I'm talking about the picture on the side of the truck.)
