I'm trying to avoid getting overwhelmed. All too easy to do these days. But Jared's comments inspire me to write more...Yes, the weekly journey to Boston's wholesale produce market was nothing if not memorable.Even as The sights, sounds and smells were vital parts of the experience, Did I mention the time? Gate opens at 4:15 AM, and it was full-tilt BOOGIE for the next 5 hours. Time out for my ritual Hot roast beef sub at 6, with Everything, Please. <br /><br />My weekly shot of the city... 30+hous of work in 2 days (DAZE) as we expanded our trucking efforts to include stops at Vermont farms to pick up vegetables to deliver in Boston. The weeklly trips, affectionately called the RUN, quickly became a useful travel resource for friends and friends- to- be. It was a crazy,, wonderful, yet balanced, 8 years of my life, that I hope to never forget [ HAHA!!]<br /><br />thanks JaredAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153120592183176479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111908578786133382.post-28349293698736551342018-11-13T11:23:54.316-08:002018-11-13T11:23:54.316-08:00Sky, I am so pleased to have discovered your blog....Sky, I am so pleased to have discovered your blog. Actually I saw a post on Facebook some months back and have been wanting to explore your reflections. Then last month, one early morning watching fruit and vegetable vendors unload their trucks in the street, I was clobbered with the rememberance of travelling with you and ???? on the veg truck run to Boston, ca 1978? The trip was an incredible adventure for me and the pungent smells of fresh and some overripe produce overwhelmed me walking down the early morning streetlight. In recalling this, I also began thinking about shared memory and how powerfully important this is, for us as individuals, as well as society and cultures. And it gives great joy to share with you as you are writing about the reality of losing memories. So this is one for the memory bank, along with a thanks to your daughter Dana for her post on your musical brain. I think often of dancing around the FRF living room with the kid tribe following SKY the pied piper, in sheer delight...thank you.

You have my applause for voluntarily telling Jane that your driving days are over; so many people (men in particular) are absolutely unwilling to relinquish that privilege. It's a huge change.<br /><br />You have my sympathies for the hallucinations/double vision. It must be something like terrifying! Does telling us the story make it any less scary? I'm out here witnessing, FWIW.<br /><br />Sending love, JudyJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800774062894760828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111908578786133382.post-53506930614262251002018-09-20T21:03:31.021-07:002018-09-20T21:03:31.021-07:00Oh Sky, this is big!
