OKAY grassfarmer you have really hit a nerve this time !! I'll match you anyday for work ethic !!! I am not wasteful either, just like to drive a vehicle I am comfortable with. I agree with you about people letting vehicles run, its bad enough in the winter time much less summer.

By the way, just how do you measure work ethic ? The number of acres one farms, the number of cattle they have or the number of off farm jobs they have to keep the farm going ???

Emerald: I have to ask you this question? I hope I'm not offending you on this one? Okay here it is: If you are half Irish...and half Scottish...are you a cheap drunk? LOL
grassfarmer: That is kind of scary! Yea, I get sort of pissed off when I see a truck idling for any length of time...or if someone leaves the lights on! I even get upset about Christmas lights! I find them wasteful!
I wonder how these darned genetics have ever survived the oil patch, where the waste is out of this world?

GEEZ cowman, are you insinuating that this meek, mild gal is a lush ???????
I don't drink so if I ever took up the habit I would likely be a cheap drunk because a tablespoon would likely be enough to get me tipsy !!!!
Remember, I have lived in the oil patch long enough to have seen entirely enough drunks.
I think I have the scottish stamina
( that comes in handy combined with my work ethic grassfarmer )and the irish zest for life, which does not include irish whiskey !!
