Kicking the Can Down the Road

I bet this morning I heard on the financial programs the term "kick the can down the road" four different times. It seems like the phrase of the month award winner for talking about dealing with political problems around the world. 

However, in my life, kicking the can down the road sort of reminds me of simpler times and dirt roads near Stigler, Oklahoma. And I wonder if others have specific stories or memories of kicking the can down the road and what that might mean to them. If you have a story or an experience in your life of literally kicking the can down the road, send us an e-mail and tell us that story.
