monster trucks

ok, so this morning i drove to lexington to a workshop on breastfeeding......an art that i have had no need to think about for say.....17 years.........and given my new avocation i felt i deserved an update........well.........i seemed to have come upon the flight path of every strange vehicle....including not one but two......big black monster trucks.......cumbersome high-off-the-ground trucks labeled heavy duty......with double tires on the back end........ironically...such trucks cannot take curves very well..............so i crept behind the first truck....and later the second on rt 33 and then 68................all the way down to the kentucky river and all the way back up again........surely these vehicles get as poor a gas mileage as a humvee.......whu would anybody commute in such a mode of transportation...........it is not as if somebody will say....during lunch, for example.....can anybody here drive over a line of fixed barrels?......or some foolish trick that might be done at a monster truck show.......and for all that steel and chrome.....it appeared to have a fairly small cargo space.........................what a waste of materials and gasoline..........
