For a Mainer in California this time of year, it's all about the light. Carpinteria, 7am, booming surf, touch of fog, scent of coffee.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."

1985 Toyota Truck, Carpinteria
We don't do a lot of Japanese trucks at AL, but the Toyotas of the day were nimble and sturdy machines, though inclined to rust, especially on the seam along the bed. Not such a problem in Southern California, though. This was a clean machine. Not too good on dating these but I'm guessing '85.
