When we bought a Toyota the salesman told us that once we owned one, we’d notice them everywhere.

I’ve never owned a firetruck yet.

And I see them everywhere.

Is it that they’re red?

Possibly, I do have an attraction for red things.

Is it because they light up?

Sure. I like lights.

But mostly?

My dad was a fireman.

He had a red truck.

So did his buddy Jim.

I was driving Jim’s old truck when I noticed the fire engine coming towards me. It looked like a ladder truck of some sort.

Both of the firemen started waving at me as I approached.

THEY noticed MY TRUCK.

One of them was likely Jim’s son.

He drives fire trucks.

And?

He had his eye out for me.

It was lovely to see and be seen.

Do you look for red trucks, firetrucks or cases of injustice to have web based temper tantrums about?

Me?

In addition to fire trucks and red trucks, I kinda have my eyes open for poop jokes.

So.

If you notice that some shits their pants?

Be sure to wave, laugh and point at them for me.
