I took this picture at 9.50am this morning while the rain was coming down in icy sheets. I saw this while driving behind a Coke truck that was fully laden with various cold beverages. Standing on the back, clinging to the crates, were the two "hands" - men employed to help load and unload the truck. On a good day it looks like fun when they hitch their lift out in the fresh air.

Enjoy your pending winter weather!
