Felix' truck is in the wrong state to have one of those AT tags.

A lot of Toyotas are built in Cambridge, Ontario these days. It could be a 
Canadian way.

Last summer I went to the local quarry and asked for 15 yards of gravel. 
"We don't do gravel. We sell crushed stone" they said. "Huh?" says I. 
"What's the difference". Gravel, it seems, is dug out of the ground and 
sifted or washed from the dirt. Crushed stone is blasted from the ground 
and smashed by big crushing machines. Apparently when you buy a load of 
small pieces of rock it is important to be clear whether you want rock 
broken in to little bits by Mother Nature or by your fellow humans.
