There will be much packing into boxes this weekend. This is the final stretch.
Earlier this week, as I made the long and painful journey across Interstate 80, I sat at the steering wheel and thought to myself:
Trunz.
I was not immediately conscious of why the word had jumped into my mind. But as I drove I began to notice a foul odor. I assumed it was coming from outside, but oddly I wasn't driving out of it, even after several miles.
Finally, I decided to overtake the truck I had been following for some time. As I passed I saw a sign on the side of the truck:
Municipal waste. De-watered solids.
Now I knew whence came that stink. This was a truck full of brunz. And not just any brunz: this was freeze-dried brunz.
So of course I had to call Steve immediately to tell him about it.
"I'm driving alongside a semi carrying a load of crap-jerky," I said, or something to that effect. And I also thought of a replacement for Steve's earlier usage lesson:
"The truck full of brunz created a strong sense of trunz for all nearby motorists."
Yeah, we definitely need to open a university.
