Musing Or Amuseing Part 2
I like it when I go with one of them as I don't have to drive and I can enjoy
God's wonders. Yesterday our tank fitting took us east to the town of Douglas. As we
passed through an area where derricks and pumps replaced the ranching scenes I once
again though of another time when I contemplated the origin or fossil fuel. I know in Ash Fall,
Nebraska they have found hundreds of Rhinoceros fossils. They were killed by the volcanic
ash that fell and suffocated them as they were in or near a water hole. Camels, horses, and
numerous other creatures of the now African plains were also destroyed at this time. I went
by this fantastic place on one of my trips out here to Wyoming. But they were to close to the
surface to be used for fossil fuel. I then began to picture various dinosaurs and wondered
which was at the bottom of each of these wells. And that led to another picture. What if one
of these monsters was riding around with me in my van. After all I have to use oil to keep it
in working condition. Was it like Sue, a T-Rex, or maybe a Raptor. Then I got a little nervous
because I do a lot of long distance traveling. What if I should have trouble? Could that mean
that it were possibly coming back to life? And perhaps out alone on one of these trips they
could....... Then I took a deep breath and pictured a mastodon because they were native to
this area also. If it should turn out that were the animal at least it could possibly be another
means of transportation.
