For requests. Specifically - little kids that want me to honk the air horns.
Today on US412 westbound of Tulsa, an old church bus gradually appeared in the ol' buggy windshield. It was full of little snots, and they saw me coming for a long time. I could see some of them giving me the "pull the air horn" signal from quite a ways back, and the closer I got, the more excited they got. More and more of them were pantomiming yanking on the air horn cord, and they were practically bouncing off the walls and roof.
So, I waited. As I just about pulled even with the rear bumper, I tugged on the cord and held it until I had passed that bus. I figured they deserved a good blast, and they got it.
They were quite pleased, too.

About Me
- Jeffro
- I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

You are indeed a kind soul.
Oh, man, what a flashback you gave me....next younger brother and I on boring summer afternoons, sitting on the step of the folks' book and antique store in Fonda (long gone now) getting all the trucks on Route 5 to blow their horns for us. Seems as if they all did and it kept us happy as heck. You are a nice guy. lol
Pushover!
LOL
You're still just a kid at heart, aren't ya'?
Well - since most municipalities frown on excessive noise et cetera, being able to blast on the ol' air horn For The Children© - it's just too hard to resist!
