In Rapid City, SD my brother, myself and our Dachshund, Tiny, rode with the milk man up into Spearfish Canyon and back several times a week. It was his last loop on that part of his daily route. My brother was into wooden, balsa, airplanes and this guy would go over his endeavors like an uncle. Great guy, we moved to a different part of town. Next guy wasn't as cool. After growing up and getting married we had this service after building a house in the country up until about 1979. Then they said it wasn't cost effective anymore so we got the dairy when going to the grocery like city folk did. Those were great times, never to be seen as they were again. Boy did you bring up memories.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617356024199023401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-83335110150635486762015-10-19T09:17:06.637-04:002015-10-19T09:17:06.637-04:00Growing up in Chicago,cue had a milkman too.
