Can’t Explain

Why do I have this thing about trucks? Not all trucks, just ones that for some reason arrest my attention. Like this one down the Shore, that I followed for a block or two until I could get close enough to take a picture.

Anybody know what this truck does? It must vacuum out something. I don’t know.

All I know is that it was love at first sight.

Maybe some combination of color and form (a multiplicity of related  forms) and the mystery of mechanical things that are inscrutable to the uninitiated and all in a day’s work to somebody else.

Visually, it knocks me out.
