This Flower Lives 40 000 Days

Aaron had borrowed my father's truck - it is a 4x4 with four doors, good for the Golden Road and plenty of room for 4 guys and all our crap. Kris told me on the ride home he had cracked up as Aaron told us the story of borrowing the truck: "...so Dad said, don't take my truck we might need to take us and the dog to town - take Debbie's truck. Her truck has a bumper sticker that says Lookin' For A Cowboy! I'm not driving that thing! So, if you need to take the dog to town - DON'T!) We loaded up and drove back through the cloud - the lower reaches of the mountain we looking frosted with rime. Oh my.
