His was boxes of Alcoa when Alcoa was still running in Princeville.

Oh, it was boxes? Yeah. Cardboard. Cardboard.

Corrugated.

That'll do it. Burned a long time.

Told him he wasted his 15 minutes. So you think the tippiness went away because you're used to driving bigger things? I think so, yeah.

What happened?

I was just asking about her Jeep. I hated the way it drove, and I'm like, yeah, this feels right. Because it drives just like the ambulance. It drives exactly the same.

Like a shopping cart?

Yeah, yeah.

Lumber wagon.

That's what I recall. I guess I'm over here now.

Meredith could correct hers with just a finger. Advise against bigger tires and a lift.

What?

I advise against bigger tires and a lift.

Yeah, but it looks really cool.

It's been a fortune in steering stabilizers. Really good at putting them on. She was home a couple weeks ago and somebody brought it up and she still gets a little misty. She thought she was pretty cool. She goes, I got a really nice car. She just gets hand-me-downs. I sure do miss my Jeep. I said, well, go get a real job. But, Dad, I'm waiting tables. I make plenty of money.

She's on her feet for eight hours.

Perhaps longer. I think she worked two doubles and a single this weekend. Oh, thank you. All the money's right, though, maybe. Downtown St. Louis.
