A Mini Tractor Trailer

The truck shown above appears to be a standard tractor trailer truck but it isn’t. I saw it in a parking lot in my hometown this summer. It is about the size of a standard large pickup truck. It appears to have possibly been custom made unless this model is actually for sale somewhere. There is a Peterbilt logo on the radiator, the name of a bona fide tractor trailer company. To be honest I don’t know what I was looking at when I saw this. All I know is it is not what it appears to be – a full-sized “tractor” that pulls the long trailers on our highways. – JH

I am a 72-year-old retired journalist, busy recovering from a lifelong career as an unretired journalist. This year marks a half century of my scratching out little fables about life. My interests include genealogy, humour and music. I live in a little blue shack in Canada and spend most of my time trying to stay out of trouble. I am not that good at it. I also spent years teaching journalism. Poor state of journalism today: My fault. I have a family I don't deserve, a dog that adores me, and two cars the junk yard refuses to accept. My prized possessions include my old guitar and a razor my Dad gave me when I was 14 and which I still use when I bother to shave. Oh, and my great-great-grandfather's blackthorn stick he brought from Ireland in the 1850s. I have only one opinion but it is a good one: People take too many showers.
