Home Sweet Home

While driving through the middle of Aurora this afternoon, I had a flashback that many of you may not understand. First of all, Aurora is by no means a small community. There are likely in excess of 300,000 people who live in the city of Aurora, most of them "city folk" to the core. Well, maybe except for one...

In a flashback that reminded more of Kansas that almost anything since I've lived here, I saw a guy in a huge, one-ton Dodge diesel pull up beside a Chevelle SS at a stoplight and start revving his engine. Not only did the hick in the pickup think he was cool because his truck was five times the size of the other guys puny little muscle car, but he wanted to race! Needless to say, he got smoked. Only a cowboy would think he'd have a prayer (well, or a gangster in a pimped out Toyota Corolla). Ahhh, the good ole days...
