Dear Reader, My co-writers, ie: folks that occasionally give me a break from Granny Gear, my rural end-page humor column in Vintage Truck Magazine, are a Hollywood screen writer, a surgeon, and another owns a True Value Hardware store with something like 40 employees. My beautiful young girl photographer of 10 years grew up, got married and moved away. My new photographer of the same description has a work-from-home office job, the responsibility of caring for three large dogs and is training to be a "dent gypsy"—one of those mysterious automotive dent repair people who appear out of nowhere after a bad hailstorm...and don't even get me started on editors. All of these people insist on having lives of their own apart from my magazine, newspaper and Substack columns and newsletters—imagine!
Okie dokie!🚜
