what was in the truck?


I did not bring Thor (well, his name is really Augustus) to Alabama. He was already there. I did take three boxes of dried apricots from France and a pound of coffee to Jan's place. But like I said, she already had the dogs. Four of them: Xena, Little Bit, Thor and Crow. 

Most of the stuff in the truck was still with me when I landed in T'ville, though not Eva and Erin. Or the dogs. They are still in Alabama.

   That plant (above) was not in the truck—I bought it at Walmart yesterday—but two others were: the bitter melon (karela) seedlings I always transport and usually kill and sometimes get to flower but never to fruit, and the huge elephant ear that Virginia gave me last year and I took to NY. Thing is getting too heavy to transport.
  Also coffee from Zabar's. Take a guess at how many pounds (and the price!!!).
  Full carbon dioxide canisters  (2)  for my Soda Stream that prove to be unnecessary since I have several here. 
  A lot of black T-shirts and camo shorts.
  Dress-up clothing for Randy's memorial service. 
  A wind sculpture that I don't think works that I bought off the internet. 
  Low-carb beer.
  Two gallons water.
  A half gallon milk.
  Many substandard Honey Crisp apples with accompanying Parmesan Goldfish.
  Two boxes of Moon Pies that I gave to Virginia.
  Probably a bunch of stuff that I have already forgotten after unpacking yesterday.
What I did NOT bring! Olive oil, furniture. Amazing! Must bring olive oil next time though.
Also, I did not bring the dead deer that started out in the road and was thrown into my yard by some thoughtful citizen of the Ozarks. Fortunately, my neighbor Jason, despite his bad back, took it upon himself to remove the carcass, already smelly after only part of a day, and throw it in a ditch. Thank you Jason! So I never had a deer in the truck, though it bled on his nice truck. Also I did not hit the deer.
   Feel free to add to what you think I might have had in the truck or should have had in the truck.

  1. Oh, I also turned out to have one of Eva's cameras in the truck. Must check for other small items.

  2. Bananas? I thought you never travelled without. Love the apple and parm goldfish combo. Might try that out this summer, but with fresh honey crisps apples. (My fav)

    In the future, always bring a backhoe for large road kill removal.

  3. So it turns out bananas are not good for blood sugar—though they are for much else. Hence, apples. I do have a banana umbrella in the truck.
