Old Men and Trucks

     Yesterday as I was out and about on my motorcycle, I ran across an old man in a truck who decided to pay no attention to me and pull out nearly right in front of me.  Luckily I had been aware and noticed the truck long before he ever noticed me and no serious injury was caused by his lack of attention to me.  However, it gave me a great story to lead into a story about other old men and trucks. 
     Old men, wow what can I say about old men.  First off some can be good and some unfortunately can be very very bad.  It seems as people get older 1 of 2 things happen, either people feel a need to share their lives with others and do so positively, or they become bitter and isolated.  Luckily we usually get to see both sides of the old man coin.
     Whether a work truck, or a sport truck, good good good. No matter the size of the truck it can do jobs a normal car can't.  In fact a friend's work truck today saved me from a cold and rainy ride home in a thunderstorm, while the one that I came across the other day could have had me and my bike for lunch.
     I ask that today we all would pay attention to the old men and trucks we come across, whether bad or good, so that we can continue on down the road of life. Have a great Friday and hopefully great weekend.
