Incredible
The town’s visionary was so far ahead of the the food truck trend that their truck didn’t make it. I mean, I guess it didn’t make it, since it’s surrounded by weeds that have clearly had all summer to get this tall.

Comes down to timing
It was one of those days at the end of the summer when it was still hot but you could sort of talk yourself into thinking that there was something in the air that made it feel like fall.

Every town has one
Well, in my part of the country, anyway, every town has a Baptist church.
