During my travels I have come across many bumper stickers.  Some were thought provoking and interesting.  Some were puzzling, philosophical or mysterious.  Some were ridiculous or idiotic and some were simple and seemed to state an overlooked basic truth.   I like the ones that make a simple statement. It may take a second to digest the concept but in the end, a very profound truth is revealed. One such truth I have learned is that the pie capital of the world is located somewhere in Oklahoma.
     While travelling around the city of Indianapolis on the freeway (465 I believe), I noticed an overwhelming number of trucks transporting millions of tons of "things".  If something was east, it needed to go west.  If something was south, it needed to go north.  You get the picture.  .  .  The trucks seemed to be part of something surrealistic; an infinite number of trucks as plentiful as the stars in the Nebraska midnight sky.  The trucks seemed to materialize from the exhaust fumes surrounding the traffic lanes, exist briefly and then travel on out of sight before vanishing back into the highway dust and atoms of hydrocarbons.  They seemed to be above and beyond the reality of heavy traffic on a freeway.   Of course, they were part of it; sometimes they were the cause of it.  In many cases, they were most of it.  However, up in the cab with the doors closed, the air conditioned and the radio on, it seems the world is locked outside with its difficulties and problems.  There really is only one worry; one problem, There is one goal to be achieved.  That important directive is to get it there on time!  After all, people and businesses are waiting eagerly and often impatiently for the essential materials needed for their welfare, financial success and happiness. They want it. They need it.  They paid for it.  The Beanie Babies, enema bags and computers must be delivered.  And, they all come by truck.  So, take a minute and look around at your things.  As you look at them, remember,    If you got it . . .    a truck brought it.
