On our way to pick up wood today for my office bookshelf, I was driving the truck our very gracious and kind neighbours lent us for the task. It’s a standard. And, it was at least a twenty minute drive to where we were going to get the wood. I had time to think a bit, about the wonders of driving a standard. And, I reminded myself of how scary it was to learn it. And, that I was glad I could drive a standard truck. In some parts of Canada, that’s a really sexy thang you know!
