I recall a huge blizzard few years ago in the DC metro area. We were lucky that there was a farm protest on the mall and many tractors were parked there. The tractor owners volunteered to drive across the metro area delivering firefighters, medical professionals, and others to their work places. I recall as a young boy seeing a large tractor picking up a neighbor for such purpose. Carter was president then.

I was stuck behind a convoy of those tractors during that DC snowstorm, and very glad I was!
