[AT] Tractor Weight (now Ramble - LONG)

[Larry D. Goss]

Just think, Gene, you're near the high spot of the whole state!  They
were closing I-70 behind us as we came through east of Columbus a couple
of days ago, and the flatlands in the Scioto basin are like one big long
swampy lake.

    Cecil;
    I have always heard that dinner referred to the big meal of
the day. For famers the big meal of the day was at mid day so
that was dinner, but for the people working away from home the
big meal was the evening meal, so that was their dinner. Lunch
and supper were the small meals of the day. For us growing up,
lunch was what we carried to school to eat.
