Its been too long! Tonight I want to write about an event that has been 20 years in the making. My most prized physical possession has recently turned 20 years old. May of 1994 was the first time I set my eyes on it. It has been a part of most of the memorable experiences of my adult life. A gift from my Grandma Mary, I never expected to still have it 20 years later let alone still use it everyday. It is of course my 1994 Chevy S-10 pick-up truck. I'm sure I could have bought several others with the money I have put in to it over the years but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It has transported most of my favorite people in the world including three of my grandparents. It carried me from the doldrums of Delaware to a new life in North Carolina. It has seen almost every mile of I-95 and vast parts of the Midwest. It has been as reliable as a twenty year old car can be. It has no air-bags, or automatic windows and locks. The anti-lock brake light has been on for at least ten years. Fuel efficient…um no. Load and smelly…um yes. But it is still very special to me. My relationship with the truck predates that with my wife and daughter yet they have adopted it as part of the family. I hope 20 years from now I still have it and it is still running. I'm sure my daughter will not want it but maybe a grandchild will be interested in a classic!!!Until "tomorrow",
Dave
