KARMA

Some might call it "karma" in how you love that old 1987 truck, Captain. According to AAA, the tow is 87 miles back to humanity for repair. 87 miles in a 2,000 mile journey to take me back where you got me...lol...hard to make good on even that. How far back do we go?...just musing in the roar of semi-trucks flying by out in the middle of nowhere on I-5. Life goes on even here with mice making dashes into the night roadside litter for crumbs. So I am wrong. Yes, I am. This is not "nowhere" for these mice. Everything belongs somewhere. Just another thought, among so many, to hold off the tears. How long...how many? A thousand bucks into the engine-heart of that truck and she's good as new. Good enough to try (again) hauling me back to Tennessee. My own car is fixed and waiting...it is just my heart that needs repair somehow, somewhere. So, Captain. you'll have your sweet truck again. Hopefully, she'll take you somewhere you actually want to be..."nowhere" is no place for the two of us to be . . . . . . Rennie
