[Elecraft] Far OT: A styrofoam peanuts story
After retiring from my "regular" job, Rose (N7HKW) and I got into an OTR "18-Wheeler" for a million miles and five years. One incident involving Styrofoam peanuts comes to mind. We were called into a California border inspection station for what was supposed to be a routine inspection. The lady on duty ordered me to open the doors of the truck's trailer so she could see that we were hauling what the waybill said. I told her that the trailer was loaded with bulk blown-in Styrofoam peanuts and she really didn't want me to do that. Her response was to -order- me to open the doors. Said "OK, but you'll regret it." It was windy that day . 73!
