Makes Me Wonder


When we run across things like this in the desert, it just kills me not to know the story.

Why is a truck cab from Flint, Michigan sitting out in the middle of the desert several hundred feet off of the mining road we were traveling?

Did the owner of Clare Electric retire and drive out here to stake his claim and try to strike it rich in the hills of the Wild West?
These are the ridiculous things that keep me awake at night.
What oddities have you run across in life that keep you awake trying to imagine the story of how they came to be?
Or, more important to me, am I the only one who uses valuable brain power and sleeping time on these things???
P.S. Sorry for the extra question marks Betty. I know it's one of your pet peeves.
