Sheepherder is military slang for a truck driver. I was actually a truck mechanic but since you had to be licensed to work on them, I was used most often as a driver. ("If you're too stupid to herd sheep, they make you a truck driver" was the saying).

And as a 'postino', I drove a truck for ~29 years also.

And I recall that we did have discourse once as I have a friend who lives in E. Amherst and does gun shows and I was inquiring if you went to shows in his area.

I'm sorry to say I don't recall...An unhappy occurence that happens all too often these days...But if I did answer, I probably said I went to shows in Hamburg at the recetrack/fairgrounds, and occasionally the Attica show [fire hall, not too big!]. Rochester too, that's the only 'big' show locally.

Tulsa/anywhere in OK has never stirred my interest. I spent two weeks in Las Vegas/Nellis [Red Flag] and liked it; I might consider a show there. I've always thought when I retired I would tour the SouthWest and maybe settle in Arizona. I do have friends there. Also an ex-wife, which is why I'm not eager to go...yet... But a large show would kindle my interest...
