I have a question. I don't know if anyone knows the answer.

Why do young boys seemed to be genetically predisposed to find big trucks (Fire Trucks, Construction Trucks, et. al.) interesting.
I was sitting at the Metro station today, waiting for the shuttle and found myself watching the construction equipment. The crane grabbed dirt from the ground and dumped it in a dump truck. I marveled, somewhat, at man's technological prowess to build what essentially amounts to a bigger, but fairly efficient, shovel.
I remember when I was younger, my brother Marc and I could be no more alike than peanut butter and plantinum. He thought construction equipment and mack trucks were the best thing ever, but I thought fire trucks were the best thing ever.
I was probably four or five when I first decided fire trucks were the best ever. I don't know if this is society at work since I don't think I watched much, before I was five, but kid's television: Sesame Street, Muppet Show, The Electric Company and various Disney cartoons.
So.. I dunno. IS It a genetic predisposition? I have to wonder.
Discuss!

I love cranes and steam trains and machines that go ping. Or nbop when they stop.

All you have heard about me and muscle cars, street machines and fire engines are all lies.
