It was right about in here the other night, as we drove around so I could photograph stuff from the car window, that a woman in a white truck seemed to find our actions suspicious enough to warrant her keeping an eye on what we were doing. She followed us all the way through the neighborhood and for a few miles after we left. I guess she wanted to make sure we were REALLY leaving. Or (and this is less likely) she was wanting to copy my Artistic Technique.

Either way: we made it home.

But aside from all that, the sign that says “tricks to trucks” makes me laugh. I want it to be the title of some sort of redemption tale of a sex worker who found her true calling as a truck mechanic.
