A Pink Dump Truck

I think pink is an odd choice of color for a dump truck. At least, I used to. Now I know that whenever I see a pink one around my hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, I can be fairly certain that it belongs to the Pretty Girl Trucking company.

I don’t have a website for them, but many thanks to Susan (comments, below) for setting me straight.

Here is a short chapter from his book “Uncle Wiggily and the Littletails” that shows a usage of the term. Click on to read the chapter, Hiding the Easter Eggs (pdf).
