High Gas Prices May Spur Comeback Of Covered Wagon

Who would have thought, since Ford’s horseless carriage rolled off the assembly line, that the covered wagon might make a comeback? But then whoever thought that gas prices would burn through the world’s wallet the way they have been lately?

No wonder the vehicle of choice among the pioneers may soon be seen crowding the avenues of our modern metropolises, with cracks of the whip and cries of, “Uptown, Ho!” Or “Carnegie Hall, Yo!” And entire wagon trains of commuters, wending their ways to their urban workplaces, with shouts of “City, Yeehah!”

The vision may be far fetched, but at least it’s gas-free.
