It's almost a tradition, at least in my part of the country, to leave a car or truck or in this case, a tractor, wherever it happens to run out of gas. For all I know this very cool but oddly situated tractor has been sitting abandoned for fifty years. I'd like to think that its fate is to slowly sink into the landscape, disintegrate, and leave an impression of itself in limestone that someday, twenty million years from now, some creature will study while arguing with his/her/its classmates over
the thing's purpose in the ancient world.
Or maybe all our garbage will morph into some weird kind of fossil fuel. Like the dinosaurs did . . . only our version will be a lot more plastic-y.
But now I'm digressing into one of my up and coming stories . . . .
