Today Miku had a bit of a fever so I laid down with her for a nap. Of course I fell asleep too. I dreamt of the Cataldo Post Office. In the dream, I was walking by as they were unloading/loading the truck. I just stood by and watched it, thinking about how magical and mysterious the truck was. I used to ride my BigWheel™ around the loading dock and broke one once jumping it off the loading dock. I got a CHiPs branded one as a replacement. I remember dragging my broken one home in tears, crying at my friends (Aaron Wilson and one other boy I don't remember offhand) about how I could never play with them again, ever, because it had broken. Not that I was going to be in trouble, but that it was broken beyond repair.
Somehow in the dream I was also suddenly unloading a few personal items from the truck (a jar of pickles, what?) I finished taking my items out, stacking them on the sidewalk next to the post office, and the driver (always faceless and mysterious) came out, got in the truck and drove away.

Wow that IS wierd. I don't know that I have ever dreamed about the house in Cataldo. If I have I don't remember. A couple times a year I drive thru cataldo just to see how it has changed.
I wonder how old you were when your hotwheel broke, you must have been about the same age as Miku. You remember having parking spots for our bikes. You always got the prime spot next to the backporch, I always had to park mine over by the tree next to the cellar. Even if your bike wasn't where it was supposed to be.
I don't remember yours having a spot. If asked I would have said it was the opposite side of the back steps.
Why would it matter if my bike was there or not. that was MY spot. :)
