Lordy, when did Robert "borrow" my trailer? 1997? 1998?
( Just to "help him move his tractor" from his house [ halfway to Waycross ] to his Mom's house [ halfway to Jesup... ])

I guess gas was about a dollar a gallon then- but of course, when I learned to drive it was $0.25, so it all looks pricey to me.

Sort of off-topic ( but then again, not really )-- I still remember an old general store up in the Crescent region that had the glass-topped gas pumps-- you used a hand crank to fill the jugs, and gravity fed the hose. The amount of gas you drained from the jugs was etched on the sides. And you could fill up on the change in your pocket.
