Just love the old truck, and especially your remembrances of that life. What fun to read this post.

Just had to come back and read this fantastic post. I loved every word of it, S. Sister. Reminded me of my dad accompanying me when I first started driving, though no, no trucks.. I loved the part about your mind wandering as you drove, probably about the latest boyfriend who...yes, me too! I can so relate... Five

A big thrill for you, I don't know if I would have slept though. One thing there were gentlemen on the roads in those days, I bet he never let youse sister muster.

A very fitting post for today as my first car just clipsed 200,000 miles...That is a neat looking vehicle. I like it when older cars and trucks are on the road.

Some brilliant scientist - perhaps an astronomer physicist - or maybe
it was a philosopher - said time is a myth and we live in the eternal now. So what happened 50 years ago or longer is actually still happening somewhere in this universe - which could explain some of our dreams and remembered conversations, etc. I think of time as a kind of accordion that squeezes in and out to bring long ago and far away into the immediate nearby. I can just see you singing and barreling down the road, leaving a big dustcloud in your wake.
