Old Car & Truck Faces

When  I was growing up and my parents and I would take a trip, I use to identify cars and trucks as they were traveling towards us on the highway. They were amazed how I could do it at such a young age.  To me the grilles on the cars and trucks made faces and that's the way I would know what they were.  Some had a grin, some didn't. And some had teeth showing like this truck.  I stopped seeing these faces long ago so I don't think it did long term damage.

Flower Power Truck

Yesterday I rode about 60 miles north into Washington to work.  On my way home I crossed over the Columbia River and rode back through Oregon.  A little north of Portland I crossed over onto Sauvie Island which I haven't visited in many years.  Outside one of the farms I found this unique "Flower Truck."  It makes a nice springtime display!

A Sale was Made

 

Wednesday I stopped at a rest stop along the highway.  I noticed all the trucks flying by creating the rooster-tails of mist from the rain.  A wise older gentleman I know says that every time you see a truck on the road it means a sale was made. Being a salesman all my life I happen to like that saying. Selling something is usually the first spark in the economic flow of business. Maybe if we can get back to making things in this country we could get out of this financial situation we're in.
