Ode to a Crate

[MrForbes]

ok, what I want to know is why do I have a picture of your crate? (vegas last year)

I'm very surprised that your crate did not write a letter of protest demanding improvements such as a fresh paint job. Crates have their rights, you know. They have a right to be strong. They have a right not to fall apart at the least little bump in the road. They have a right to express themselves. They have a right to stand tall. If your new crate needs any help with stating its rights with its mentors/students who don't even take photos of its rightness - just let me know.

Do you have a trailer? Trailers have rights, you know...


Thanks for the photos. Hopefully, some day, I'll see it for myself in the 330 Hall Of Fame Museum.

I know we have used the same crate since 2007 (ie since I joined the team) and since then we've gone to:

City (One-way in miles)

Worcester (3300)
Boston (3300)
Anapolis (3600)
Orlando (4400)

= 29200 miles

If we include since the beginning of the team (it wouldn't be surprising if we have used the same crate as it is pretty beat up), we've also gone to:

Houston (4800)
New York (3500)

= 45800 miles

Can't find a pic of it's exterior yet. Only the interior.

It called your name, and asked you to take its picture, because deep down you knew it was a crate with character.

Could be. But I think it was conspiring with the cheesy crate next to it
