Omg-- I'm a dumb blonde, too, drive an F250.. although you're probabably a male bimbo.
Let's trade dumb blonde jokes.

It was her lucky day. Yep... But it followed close on the heels of one helluva unlucky morning drive...

Nobody seems to ask what she was doing playing with her shoes while she was supposed to be driving. Keep the shoes on your feet and the feet in front of the pedals, chickie, and these things don’t happen.

"Crosser said she tried to pull off the road, but couldn't slow down because the shoe stopped the brake from fully working." When was the last time she had a brake job? When she was 50? Lots of brake pedal travel obviously. Breathe on my brake pedal and they are on.

One time while getting gas, I forgot, or didn't put my '75 f250 in park properly, jump out of the truck and before I could turn around, it was scooting across the parking lot in reverse, across the street, and through the wall of the local hardware store, the wall where they had all their cheap glass trinkets.
Not even a scratch on the truck, just a little store paint on the bumper. I've bought F250's ever since.

That looks like that pic was taken around the Medina Children’s Home near Kerrville.

Good story, thanks. I would not trade my F250 for anything and will buy again ... IF the thing ever wears out!
To: decal
Yes, it’s close to that. I live in Kerrville.

didn't know that Tejas even had a difference of 150 feet in elevation....it's my understanding that even their "Hill Country" is the equivalent to a large dog's dropping. The Hill Country hills aren't real high, some probably do go to 150 ft though. But they are also pretty "close" to each other in some areas, with the ravine between them being might steep and mighty deep.
However this was out by El Paso, which means "the pass", as in "through the mountains. It's a bit east of El Paso, 30 or so miles, but El Capitan's peak is at 8,064 ft
And it's base is around 6,500 feet
It's also only the eighth highest peak in Texas.
