The air
is still and hot as hell, and the dusty
road deserted except for a brand new,
flame red Dodge Ram pick-up truck
cruising calmly towards the town of
Jennin. The driver is Walter Johnson -
Walt to his friends – and he wears a
broad, toothy grin. It’s the universal
expression that comes as standard with
any new vehicle.
Despite
the excitement of his new toy, Walt
still revels in the backdrop, as he has
done since he was a child, riding
shotgun in his Daddy’s truck. This is
Cowboy country and anybody whose
childhood fantasies included the Lone
Ranger, Billy the Kid, or the James
Gang, cannot help but be swept up by it.
Walt is one of those people. This is how
life is supposed to be; City living is
for fools.
