and the winners

Who knew there was such an item?

The first round of this year's What's in the Truck? contest has been decided. Was there ever any doubt? Dada wins. Though he did mess up on the bananas. His prize: leather scraps to wrap his knife collection and a gluten-free catfish dinner at the River's Edge cafe.
Last year's winner, Bo, is this year's runner up. He never got his prize from last year (was it the Chicago Manual of Style? I forget.). This year he wins a railroad spike that hitchhiked all around this great land of ours in the years 1968-1973.
For D.R. : Three hand-selected Block Island stones and camo pj's
Dianne has already received her prize: The charming item above that mounts on your favorite tree to give it more personality, regifted from the Biologist.
Like any of us need any more shit to haul around!
Thanks for playing!

    I am just honored to have been nominated. :)

    Me? I never expected anything like this.

    First, congratulations to Mr. Dada, and fellow participants.

    With this spike I now feel closer to those who actually roamed, hitched, and picked up hitchers during this period:

    Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
    Kowalksi
    Bronson (representing two-wheelers)
    Pancho and Lefty
    Bobby McGee

    Long may they/we/I live the feeling of tying that sweatshirt around our waists, taking that first step backward and pony-toeing the fog line in what may be the greatest sense of anticipation ever known to man and thumb.

    They say it ain't the destination, it's the Road.
