I did my part to stimulate the local economy. Drove the F-150, @90mph, to Chinatown. Picked up some Chinese bacon and sausage. I didn't want to use a surgical mask, because medical professionals need them more than I do. So I wore a balaclava. Everywhere I went, there was an uneasy tension. Security cameras turned to focus on me. People acted like I was there to rob the place. I wonder if it was race based discrimination.

Are you sure it was only a dream?

Just sayin'.......It could have happened.

Northern California. North Korea. I confuse the 2 of them myself.

Tim, that's the truck. Just another white truck, like the whole parking lot at Home Depot. I don't get to drive it much. It sits. Fuel cost has gone down, so I can finally afford to drive it. US 101 in SF was actually empty enough that I did look down to see the speedometer at 90.

I would have to walk a few city blocks to where it is parked....

It's just an 07 F-150, regular cab, 8' bed. It's an XL trim commercial model. Stripped down to nothing. AM only radio, hand crank windows, manual door locks, and no air conditioning. White, like every truck at Home Depot.

Lowest price truck they sell.

Sorry to hear about the truck. Maybe time for a new truck. With auto sales down, you might be able to get a great deal. Only problem with a car is that you buy high and sell low. The opposite of how you want to manage money.
