Bouncing back... kind of
Helloo! Finally, it seems I'm back in sufficient shape to do a little blogging. At least, the murky haze seems to have lifted (on afterthoughts, maybe I really should have taken a shower earlier) and I'm not perpetually falling asleep. That's got to be a good thing, right?
So, anyway, I'd said I was going to document some of the stuff that happened/we saw/we bought/we said/was said to us, etc. from our trip to the US of A. Right, instalment Number One and no, it ain't that much of a stunner for most folks, I suppose. I luurved them, though – trucks!!! And no, I don’t mean SUVs and Silverados, I mean the real stuff; “semis”, 40-tonne 18wheelers with 10cylinder caterpillar engines and ruddy big exhausts. Oh, and none of your poncy cab-over-engine designs either – the real thing with about an acre of hood and that old fashioned chrome grill on the nose. One of my main concerns getting to the States was that maybe these wonders of my childhood (countless hours misspent staring at photographs, devouring books or just rumbling my own little model Kenworths and Peterbilts across the highways of my imagination) would have died out by the time I got there, replaced by fleets those hideously ugly contraptions that Freightliner and others seem to be churning out. Finding these babies here was, therefore, pure bliss for this closet aficionado…
BTW, my main reason for featuring all these pics is of course because I know they’ll have little James over in
