The answer is, No!
This particular DUMP TRUCK was rented - just for this event.
We had hoped for OTHER (even LARGER) "dump trucks" for this rally, but most of them were in use over the weekend - actually MAKING MONEY for their owners.
(What a concept!) Thanks again to Saundra Duffy for finding this one.
It was apparently one of the LARGEST dump trucks available ANYWHERE that could be driven by someone like me - WITHOUT a commercial license.
Fortunately, most attending the FReep did NOT see me grinding through the six speeds as I navigated it twenty-three miles from the rental place in Rocklin, and back. Driving it around town WAS kind of a "guy thing," though - especially raising and lowering the massive dump bed in the back - which was an important therapy for a guy who has been parading around in fishnets and garters - A LOT! - recently!
Seriously, I also LOVE that image of the "DUMP DAVIS!" dump truck - and currently use it as my wallpaper on my laptop at home!
I though that the LITTLE things about this "dump truck" were important, too - like:
- the "SIMON" signs on the doors of the cab - to cover the rental company's logos, so that the union thugs could not go out and hassle them.- and the "Hazardous Waste" signs - in reference to the soon-to-be-EX-governor's NOXIOUS behavior,
- and little red "DUMP DAVIS" bumper stickers tastefully arranged ALL AROUND the truck - by a non-FReeper volunteer - who carefully attached each one in such a way that I could remove them at the end with VERY LITTLE effort!
Thank you, FRiend - WHOEVER you are!

I was not wearing my "eGray Hooker" outfit at the FReep in Coachella earlier today, but I DID bring the mask...

Once again, we have proven that eGray Davis can RUN, but the cannot HIDE from FReepers, and their FRiends and... ...the "Chicken Man!"
Over a DOZEN FReepers and our (soon-to-be-FReeper) FRiends joined with the ever-present "DEBATE Chicken" to FReep the elusive soon-to-be-EX-Governor of California as he tried to sneak into a United Farm Workers (UFW) rally at the Coachella Valley High School this afternoon...more

RonDog joins the "Chicken Man" with an "eGray Hooker" MASK, but no fishnets and garters THIS time!

CONGRATULATIONS to the OTHER "guy who has been parading around in fishnets and garters" - the NEW
Northern California "eGray Hooker," CounterCounterCulture!!!
If the Simon team can have two "Chicken Men," WE can have two "eGray Hookers," right?
Over the next few weeks unitl Election Day, Gray Davsi will NEED to appear in public, and now we can
FReep him EVERYWHERE!Please make sure that you bring a photographer with you to these FReeps, however.To paraphrase the classic paradox:"If a hooker FReeps in the city, and nobody posts any pictures on a post-FReep thread, did it really happen???"
