Developers are clearing trees for two new housing developments close to where I live. So recently there have been signs posted warning log trucks entering roadway.
Being that my mind works the way it does, I've been picturing trucks constructed from logs. Something that would have been seen on the roadway in Fred Flinstone's era.
Vehicles about forty feet long and six feet wide. The wheels would be constructed of round slabs sliced from the bottom-most section of the felled tree. Axles would be crafted from some of the sturdier branches.
A vehicle that size would need considerable foot power. Fred wouldn't be yab-a-dab-a-doing for very long if he had to power it himself. I doubt if even an assist from Barney would be sufficient. So I'm picturing at least five seating areas hued from the log. Starting from a stop would be a challenge, but I figure once momentum was gained, ten strong legs should keep the log truck moving at a fairly good clip.
I'm trying to picture a Jurrasic era truck salesman. Isn't this a beauty? It's our finest ten foot power vehicle. It averages about eight miles per layer of skin. If you buy now, we'll throw in a free case of Miracle Foot Repair lotion.
