When I first arrived in the USA, I was like a child in a sweet shop, excited about all the 'American' things I've seen in movies.... A fire hydrant - wow! A mailbox - wow! Steam coming out of the pavement - wow! American trucks - wow! Some of those I soon became blasé about, but I have to say that my excitement at the big trucks never did wear off. This was an attractive example, at a cider mill we visited in Vermont. These beasts are very different from British/European
The trucks remind me, I guess, of that Kris Kristofferson movie, 'Convoy', that we were nutty about in the late 70s. Ain't nothin' gonna get in their way!
"Truck." Not "lorry?" It is always fun having a visitor hold a mirror to things that we take for granted. Like trucks.
ReplyDeleteLove their big 'arctics.
ReplyDeleteWas Bobby McGee on board? You're right that's definitely a truck and not a lorry.
ReplyDeleteI remember this movie! I think I would be like you, saying "wow" about everything I'd see! :o)
