1955 International Harvester Metro Van

The artist David Ross, recently of Montreal, now of Chicago--is another Canadian relocated to the US and discovering the exquisite trauma of being a secret foreigner:
"Saw this (llama-)van being pulled into a garage here in Chicago yesterday (Vermont plates, though) ... I knew International Harvester made farm equipment but not vans. We're slowing settling in to our new life here. Decamping to this city has been even stranger than I thought it would be. Slowly coming to the realization that I now actually LIVE in the US. Has its moments, as you well know."--DR
