Truk Rogers: From Year 300,000

That little red truck lurched past a modest milestone last night. For a vehicle that has been around the countyside as much and as long as that faithful beast, one might have expected a little more fanfare. No, I didn’t — as mom suggested — hop out and run around the truck. I did pull off to the side of the road and introduce “old tech” to “new tech” in the form of a couple brief-focus digital images. I thought since a large portion of the readers of this blog have either (a) owned or (b) driven or (c) at least ridden in the micro-rouge-creature, there might be some stories to share. Or at leasts some interest in the topic. Perhaps.

I’m not holding my breath.

I also realize that some people might find the idea of me sitting at the side of the road taking pictures of my odometer — regardless of the number of kilometers displayed — odd and boring. For those, you can imagine the effort involved in taking this image while driving through the busy city streets, instead.

Brad has listened to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio dramas so many times (a conservative guess would likely peg it at well over forty-two times, actually) that something of the absurdity found there is bound to have rubbed off on his writing here. At least… that is to say… he humbly… he wishfully… hopes so.
