My Truck
I had been talking about my little truck and Pinkie asked to see a picture of this vehicle. So here it is:
It’s old, ugly and needs a bath but it drives real good for a ‘97. It has less than 30,000 mile (50,000 km) on it. This used to be my brother’s truck. At the current rate I drive I will double the mileage by this time next year. Another reason to leave this job soon. Mileage shall go down a great deal once I only have to walk upstairs to go to work.
I took some pictures on the drive to work a couple of weeks ago when that hurricane was skirting my part of Texas. Sorry for the poor quality, but I am trying to stay on the road.
Dark clouds looming over the street where I lived. Man I wanted to stay home so bad.
Lot of camera shake. Still driving in my neighborhood. Rising sun is peeking through.
Raindrops hit the windshield as I approach the intersection of 99 and Interstate 59. Lot of construction going on here. Will they ever finish?
Driving in the rain towards the George Ranch about 5 miles from my house.
Buildings on the George Ranch property. There is a creek near here that is the home to aligators. Been trying to snap a picture of them, but no luck as of yet. One day an aligator actually sun bathed next to the rode as everyone drove by.
Cows getting ready for the promotion to McDonalds and Taste of Texas Steakhouse.
Back home that evening. I tried to catch those sunflowers for some of you readers. I recall a few of you receiving sunflowers lately. Yours were much larger than these. I need a zoom. The buildings in the background are part of the mall adjacent to my neighborhood. I can walk to this location in less than ten minutes.

thanks for sharing the pics…though it’s pretty dangerous to be taking pics while on the road!
SA: That is why some of my pictures are not so clear and you should see the ones I delete.

*wonders if yr truck can fit the Sampat Gang*
SA: If the little truck does not, the big truck will.

SA: I’m really trying to catch one, uh, in a picture.

No wonder the camera was shaking! Tell me how to snap a good photo while manoeuvering the wheel with the other hand!

you live out in the whoop whoop!
SA: 20 years ago my community was cow pasture. I remember passing through from time to time. I thought I was in the middle of no where. Well now I am in the middle of no where and it is getting crowded.

Taking shots while driving!

Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, MISTER!!
Safety first!
In Malaysia, you could be asked to pay coffee money, I mean, traffic ticket. :p
SA: There were no coffee drinkers except me.

oi… taking photos while driving on the road! That’s not a good example for the youngsters here.
Lucky the hurricane didn’t do much damage to Texas.
SA: Just a little flooding. Don’t think there was any loss of life. The northern states had it worse and no hurricane at all.
Me an example. Oh no! The world will explode.

Never seen a hurricane with my naked eyes before. Thanks for the picture and will like to experience it in the future, haha!
SA: Oh no. Hurricane is really scarey. Pretty deadly too. I run when they come too close.

I like the pictures where the storm was rolling in. I love to see the sky when the weather turns bad. Everything is so green in your pictures. Over here, it’s back to green again, just in time for fall!
SA: I still have two more months of heat. Though really this summer has not been that bad. So much rain in Texas this year.
