This Story Doesn’t Really Go Anywhere, But It Does Have A Mostly Toothless Guy and a Burrrrrgh Sound
I don't much enjoy the holidays. Christmas does nothing for me. Likewise, Thanksgiving. Easter is about getting dressed-up and looking for stuff -- neither of which ranks high on my list.
I do, however, look forward to at least one annual event: the arrival of the leaf truck. The leaf truck, as the name I've given it suggests, sucks up leaves. It's essentially a vacuum cleaner on wheels, with a big tube coming out of the back. The guy who drives it in our neighborhood is a friendly, mostly toothless fellow who seems to like his job. Two other guys walk beside the leaf truck, directing the tube toward the leaves. It makes a wonderful burrrrrgh sound. I love it.
Earlier this week, Henry and I stood outside and watched the truck do its work. The mostly toothless driver waved at us. We waved at him. He seemed pleased to have an audience.
THE END
