I relate to this one so much. I'm amazed there isn't more death and carnage than there already is, frankly. It is that short season where the front door to the bookstore is open pretty much all day, and every day, multiple times a day, there will be some big pickup roaring down Higgins to make a green light or whatever. There isn't a single time I walk up and down that street during the day that I don't see some kind of a close call. It makes me crazy and I hate them. I could go on and on, Nia. I'm very cranky about them. As my dad used to say: "I wouldn't have one of those up my butt if I had room for a boxcar!"
I will judge fart trucks until the day I die. You can always tell the difference between a big truck and a fart truck. Big trucks are working trucks. They are sometimes dirty or have tool racks, that sort of thing. Fart trucks are shiny and new and bought just to make a statement. When people make such a statement, they invite judging.
I like every bit of this post. I am way way more judgmental than you. At age 58, I have no issue judging Very Big Truck people.

I struggle with judgment all the time, and *try* to catch myself. Sometimes it works!
I love that drop of water link! See also: https://www.americangeosciences.org/critical-issues/maps/interactive-map-streams-and-rivers-united-states

That River Runner site is wildly therapeutic in the same way that looking at the Maze screensaver was on Windows 98.
