    In the rurals, we had need of a truck. Of course, it was an old beat up GM, and as a boy I got in trouble when I tossed a log of firewood into the bed of a shiny new ES truck (bigger than the GM) and missed, damaging its otherwise pristine body finish, which I’d later learn was costly to repair.

    It informed how I would eventually compute I, a suburban kid, was too unfamiliar with strange rural conventions for heavy labor.
