Global Wandering

I receive on average about 100 emails a day, not counting the several hundred that get flagged by our spam shield. Among Saturday’s selection was this one from our milkman. Yes, here in Idaho there are still milkmen that deliver to homes on a weekly basis.

Subject: Stolen Milk Truck

Over the years I have worried
about someone stealing some of our
cows during the night.

I did not expect someone to steal
our milk truck!!! That's right, one
of our milk trucks was stolen Friday night.

Please call me if you have any sightings
of a spotted truck. My cell number
is 208-xxx-xxxx. I am not sure how
far away the robber has taken the truck
so if you leave out of Idaho I would
appreciate it if you also would be on
the look out for a stolen truck.

Thanks for your help,

Alan

I’d like to say I spent the weekend looking for a truck painted to look like a holstein cow, but Breanna and I were in Ohio for a visit to Grandma and Grandpa. Breanna got to learn the art of running through an airport Sunday morning after her Dad’s alarm didn’t go off and we had only 50 minutes to catch our flight.

I was pleased to see a follow up email from our milkman yesterday morning titled Milk Truck Found.

Turns out the mechanic had taken the truck to his home to fix without telling anyone.
