a sixteen year old learns to drive


When I learned how to drive car (I had been driving tractor since age 7) the confusion of that additional third pedal lead to driving practice in the alfalfa field with only gopher holes to beware of.

In the city, parents take their kids to the cemeteries. My favorite is the beautiful and peaceful Bohemian National.  Nothing to dodge but obelisks and other cars with parents and 16 year olds. And the occasional soldier monument.

Parking lots! I taught my son in the big parking lot at the middle school. I too was driving the tractor as a child, pulling the plow, or hay wagon. Fun memories!!
