That young woman cop needs some reality lessons. An Allis on the streets of Milwaukee?? My God, Milwaukee is the home of Allis Chalmers. I used to live in Milwaukee as a teenager, and the lady next door worked as an overhead crane operator in the Allis tractor plant. She was a pretty fiesty German who would take apart anyone (cops included) who crossed her path. I even learned some of my language skills from her, some of it might have been German. Dang, the history of Milwaukee is filled with Allis chapters. Now I think this cop lady might have a better chance of making a ticket stick if you were driving a Minneapolis Moline.

Hey is Milwaukee still plowing snow with city garbage trucks like they did in the 50's? All the garbage trucks were fitted with snow blades, and when it snowed, the garbage just sat for days until the trucks had finished all the streets and alleys. They had quite a fleet of flat face (curved front) White trucks with a big garbage body and a 9 or 10 ft blade on the front. I have plowed snow commercially for 45 years, and I just can't imagine plowing with a top heavy compactor body on the darn truck.

Tell cop lady to chill out, she's impeeding progress and messing with history. They have unemployment lines full of people like her, and the job prospects are not good. No Milwaukee judge is going to take down an Allis man, there is just too much union history to mess with.

Take care, it has been fun to reminisse a bit.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
