Some time ago I was in the
parking lot of the Alexandria Wegmans, an East Coast grocery chain, when I
noticed this truck all tricked out:
This Wegmans is near Fort
Belvoir; I didn’t see a base sticker on it, but it did have an Oklahoma license
plate on the rear, and I just kinda thought…
Anyhow, what caught my
attention was this declaration plastered to the front bumper:
Look—anyone driving a $32K
Silverado pickup with Oklahoma plates and a piece of a Robert Browning sonnet slapped
across the bumper deserves a shout-out. I rifled through my car, but didn’t
have any decent-sized pads of paper (since rectified). So I scribbled my good
wishes on a business card-sized scrap and stuck it under the windscreen wiper.
May you grow old alongside
each other, never run out of gas and always be driving under the speed limit as
you pass the cop cars.
