THE FOOTNOTES

One road to Southington from  Waterbury is down a mountain,  and there is Bob driving a loaded  soda truck  down that mountain.  Bob has very little experience driving any truck, let alone a loaded soda truck.  About half way down, the truck pops out of gear and has only brakes to control it.  Brakes aren't enough  in that situation.  As the truck begins to roll faster, fast thinking Bob manages to get it into a low gear and get down the mountain safely.

  When  finished his deliveries, he drove back to the bottling plant and told the other drivers what happened on the mountain.

  "You didn't go down that mountain with a loaded truck did you?"  Was their response.

   "Yeah, I did", Bob said---adding "now you tell me Thanks a lot!"
