Oh yes, the days of picking up the little sister from things. She preferred me to pick her up as the older sister is so much cooler than the parent. Only not so much, mom was much more understanding than I was when the brat screwed up. (I have called her the brat since she was maybe 2, now if I call her by her name she thinks I’m angry, so calling her the brat just then wasn’t an insult, although when she was younger it TOTALLY was)

I love it when I see houses drive by on the freeway at break-neck speeds! I start imagining the people who are in those houses at that very moment, frightened for their very lives, and how I’ll follow after them and save their lives!

It’s a very heroic way to start your morning, or end your day.

I think it’s clear by now I don’t proofread anything I write.

My sister is at that same junior high age. I often try and think back to try and remember how it was when I was her age [admittedly, it's sometimes because I'm trying to keep my temper] and it’s so weird. It makes me feel so old.

I see all sorts of craziness on the highway where I live. We got the houses a lot, really big machinery for oil and coal minings, and there was even a time where I saw all these trailers carrying the Nascar cars. There was ten of them all in a row driving West to California.

It’s sometimes amazing what little bits stick with us so vividly.

(I too am afraid a house or other large object strapped to a truck will fall on me).

Oh I am very familiar with houses on trucks on my commutes. It seems we Southerners were once a nomadic people. This is not the case anymore, mind you, but we’re comforted at the thought that our houses can be picked up and moved at any time if need be.

Really? Wow. I only saw one. Maybe a straggler?

There was an ASSLOAD of those houses going southbound on the parkway north. I counted 15 or so. The caravan stretched for almost a mile.
