Yesterday, the most horribly sad event took place........I had to put Idaho plates on the truck.
That's right, Chuck (my truck) is no longer a resident of Washington. He painfully wears the Red, White, and Blue "Scenic Idaho" plates.
No...I didn't cry, because I'm a man. But this sure didn't keep me from eating my feelings. After all, my relationship with the truck will never be the same. I only assume that's it's as embarrassing for him as it is for me. I feel like the mother that forced Cosby to wear those sweaters. Or the dog owner that groomed their poodle to look like the prized bonsai in an acupuncturist's office.
But never fear...I anticipate that this is only a temporary pain we plan to never live in Idaho after graduation. So Chuck, it's only a matter time my friend. Soon you will be free of these oppressive plates and things can go back to the way it was. But for now...please forgive me.
We are now accepting donations for the "Mend Chuck's Broken Heart" fund.
All forms of currency are gladly accepted.
Please, Don't let this Ranger be in Danger.
Thank you.
OH MY! This is horrible, I dread the day when I will have to switch my plates to Texas plates... I'm sorry ranger! and Mandy!!! :(
ReplyDeleteChuck? I had no idea that was his name. I sure do miss him myself every once in a while. I know you're both strong enough to survive this tragedy. As such, I will only be sending you my condolences. They're worth a lot.
ReplyDeleteI just got over the shock of you two being Idaho residents complete with Idaho drivers' licenses and now you throw this monstrosity at me. This cuts me real deep. No Finding Nemo Nexcare bandaid is going to fix this.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain my car, Leisel, now has Utah plates. Sigh. I'm now a Utah driver, which BLOWS! But these things can be fixed and they shall!
