Far out

I pass these two vehicles pretty much every day; they’re on one of the streets on my walking circuit and they’re parked next to one another.

SAMPL is an old truck and AUSWEG is a BMW. Both have seen better days.

“Ausweg” is German for “exit”; literally “out way”, or—as the Brits say—“way out”.

Sunday morning I was shocked to see a gap behind the truck where the BMW always is; I was wondering where it could have auswegged to. But then I noticed it parked on a cross street, and I’ve been trying to make up a story for that ever since.
