This is probably a custom paint job. Right? Sometimes you just wish you were around for the creation of a given object in this world. “Cherry red, forget that,” you can imagine the driver saying before laying out his vision for an American flag on four wheels. This truck (possibly a classic Ford Delivery Truck?) swung by me yesterday on…

For me, it’s most associated with the sips of coffee that my parents would grant me at diners when I was child, pouring a drop from their ceramic mug into a…

Without food in their bellies, they…
