thanks and updates
today i am driving a ginormous ford f250 [thanks, jeff!]. perched on the bench seat, i can see clear to indiana, and i have no idea where the vehicle begins or ends. i feel a little bit ridiculous, although there is a definite "i'm on top of the world" sense going on, which i admit i am enjoying. i wore jeans today because the thought of dressing up and leaping into the cab seemed preposterous. it's convenient that i don't really wear skirts, because it's about a forty-foot drop to the ground, and really, folks: there is no lady-like way to deal with that. paul graciously drove me from the shop back to my apartment at 7:30 this morning [thanks, paul!]. i jumped in the truck, and he called as he was driving away.
"yeah," he says. "that is so you."

And yes, I WILL get a picture of Mdog in that truck... someway....
and no, he's not joking about the rope...
If you're easy on it, you might be able to eak out 12mpg... ;) If it were a hybrid, I'm sure you'd get at least 15mpg, which is better than most Lamborghinis.
When I commuted with this truck, the tires on both sides were just about touching the white lines, made it difficult to get in and out of the tiny parking spots at Grover!
Don't try to use a Barnes and Noble card at a Borders... induces much *****iness from the cashier.
