The Cambridge Land Rover

It always heartens me to see this nimble machine on the streets of automotively tedious Cambridge, Massachusetts, which are otherwise lined with silver Priae, etc.

1971 International 1210

Scott Dorrance caught the truck at Willard Square, South Portland, Maine.

Live Free or/and Die

from the poet David Rivard, on the road (I-95) to New Hampshire.
I often feel as though I’ve entered
a standoff between what
happens around me & what’s
going on inside—& this life
that goes on & on inside my head
goes on & on & on it seems
almost without me, as
it has since childhood . . .
—from “Standoff”

'73 Dodge Power Wagon

You have seen this truck before. I like it a lot. The morning I shot these, Cambridge was skimmed with black ice. Thirty-car pile-ups all over Boston. HBB and I slid our way to school on foot, then I continued slipping and sliding down to Harvard Square, pushing my bike, which was impossible to ride. By afternoon it was almost 60 degrees, and they are calling for 12 inches of snow tomorrow. Tht means a snow day, sigh.
The truck has a clean, plainjane ruggedness I admire. 4wd, like any Power Wagon. Not sure the year but I'm putting down '73, which is probably close.

My college girlfriend's father had one of these. We would commandeer it when he was out of town. I didn't have a license, mais ca ne fait rien,  & I remember cruising backroads (les rangs) in the Laurentians at the wheel of the Riv.
