so as a result of working at the registry of motor vehicles for three and a bit years, i've got the finely tuned ability to spot a trucker from a mile away. i can seriously smell a '83 gmc driver coming into the office before he even pulls up to the parking lot.
they're all the same; greasy clothes, trucker hat, dirty fingernails, sometimes the occasional tooth missing, and the terrible grammer.
well my friends, welcome to fort kent, maine! i swear to god if i see one more trucker driving their beat-up chevy pickup down main street like they're the shit...i'm gonna scream!?! what's with pickups and small towns??? well one obvious use of a pickup is their ability to haul atv's (my other pet peeve; they're dangerous and they cause more accidents than any other sort of vehicle out there...and they're annoying to register). and in a small village such as this one, atv's probably do come in handy...people actually drive them on the street here...honestly, i've seen them!!
but other than hauling atv's, why does everyone in town drive trucks??? i remember the last time i was in yarmouth, and i was warned about all the people who i'd see parked at the local mcdonalds; all their trucks in a little row...just hanging out...i didn't believe the warnings at first...but low and behold, there they were!!
and fort kent, is no different...mind you i'm a few blocks in the opposite direction of the town's (only) mcdonalds...and being a vegetarian i have no reason to venture down and investigate to see if my theory is true...but i venture to guess that in the parking lot of that fine little restaurant, you'd find all the pickup drivers parked in a nice little row like ducks...just hangin'...
they must be stopped.
