I’ve been around farm equipment auctioneers too long.

Auctioneers influenced where I parked at a wedding yesterday.

My wife and I attended a wedding at a gorgeous venue (a highland cattle farm that’s booked with weddings almost every Saturday for the next 3 years—hence a Sunday ceremony).

We got there early enough to have our choice of parking spots. While the other guests crowded the side of the lot closest to the wedding site, I parked over by the equipment shed to get a look at the tractor and hay equipment. “Those are some clean units,” I told my wife as we walked in our formal clothes. “I sell a lot of hay rakes like that one.”
