Regarding Sleeping in Road Ditches

Until last night, I didn't know that it is a social convention that if you sleep in road ditches it is considered eccentric and that people who see you think you are dead and you become a topic of conversation.

If I am in the field, planting for example, and I have to wait for seed or for somebody to give me a ride or whatever, I will sometimes get out of the tractor and make myself comfortable in the road ditch and take a short nap.

I was informed last night that a picture was circulating in a chat group that included several of our friends (but not us) of me sleeping in a ditch. As part of that conversation, somebody described an earlier example of finding me sleeping in the ditch and said that she has a hard time walking past that spot yet-because she thought I was dead. she couldn't believe that I had done it again-Oh, if she only knew-LOL.

Everybody already thinks I am eccentric so I might as well continue the sleeping in ditches thing.

It's not a good idea in California or Arizona right now.

I love being the butt of good-natured ribbing (possibly more than anything) so the whole episode made me happy.
