Electric Milk Delivery Trucks Re: <VV> Traitor in our midst NO CORVAIR

[FrankCB@aol.com]

Ron,
    I hope you're kidding about this!!  We had electric milk delivery trucks 
around 65 years ago when I was a kid in Long Island, NY.  I still remember the 
sound they made, sort of like an electric fork lift truck.  Maybe if enough 
people insist on getting milk delivered daily to their houses, electric 
delivery trucks will come back into style.  Just don't hold your breath waiting for 
this to happen!!
    I still remember coming out of the house in the morning in winter and 
finding the frozen milk had pushed up the cardboard seal at the top of the glass 
bottle so the frozen cream (it separated since this was before homogenized 
milk) rose in a column.  The local cats loved it so the milk companies started 
giving out metal boxes with lids to make the milk "cat proof".<GGGGGG>
    "Ah, yes. I remember it well."
