Earlier this spring, we went to a "Touch a Truck" Day in an adjacent town. We got to see all sorts of truck and sit in them. I found that I wanted this street cleaner -- it was really cool and you could see through clear panels on the floor. I would love to do my part for civic pride and drive one of these around on a regular basis -- do you think they have a hybrid version? What was especially memorable to me was that other kids were talking about each truck and construction machine and what each one did. Not Zeke, though. Zeke went up to the bull dozer and said, "SNORT!" He kept talking about the different "snorts" in the parking lot.
Why? That is the name of the "creature" who returns the baby bird to his nest in Are You My Mother?, one of Zeke's favorite books to read at the time.
