My folk’s last live in hired hand John Galt got married to a girl named Penny, and after that my father used the hired hand’s house for his fox hounds.ConsRule » 15 Sep 2023, 8:16 am » wrote: ↑ I've crossed many.

The hired hand got a good job driving a semi, and things were good for him and Penny until one day, John Galt got blown up
——-“It was literally like a bomb had gone off in the eastbound lane of the highway,” says Walker.Walker says he couldn’t see the hole’s bottom for a while and walked around to view it from different vantage points. Walker ran into another deputy and walked with him for a while. He asked the deputy what he was doing on the scene; the deputy told Walker he was gathering evidence and human remains. During their walk around the area, Walker and the deputy found:
- A solid axle
- The truck’s engine
- A cowboy boot belonging to the driver with a foot inside
The truck driver was 48-year-old John A. Galt from Oklahoma City; Galt drove for Tri-State Motors of Joplin. The local Teamsters union was on strike against the trucking company. One of those on strike was Bobby Lee Shuler. Shuler had a rifle with him and was planning to fire at two Tri-State trucks.

Daddy took me to that hole in 1-44 and made me promise, never to cross a picket line.
I never have, and never will.
