7. Well, unlike most right-wing pickup truck owners, I'm not in love

Mon Aug 3, 2020, 09:02 AM

Aug 2020

with my truck. It's just an old beater truck that I have to haul trash and other things. I'm perfectly fine with having a taped up, BB-shot window on it. I don't care. I'd have been more upset if all the glass had fallen out, like it usually does. A little tape, though, and I'm back on the road again.

Whoever shot at the window can check out my repair as he drives by and be reminded that his vandalism doesn't really affect me much at all. The bumper sticker is still back there.
