Traveling in our eggs, we say "Please
don't wreck me" to the other drivers
traveling in their eggs and we also say
"Please don't wreck me" to the loved
ones who share our beds day by day.

Can we say that out loud? Not sure I can.
I have a popular first responder page on instagram (sorry Sherman, but there are some fires burning, mostly smoke). My photographs cover a long period of time and when reviewing them this week I wondered, "Are Roll-Overs safer today with 'your eggshell' cars built to implode, or was it better to just hang ten over the cliff with Thelma and Louise in a car built to last, for comfort not speed?
Footnotes for the apocalypse:
Firemen have a hell of a time putting out electric car fires. Another sign of end times is that fire fighters have become 'all the rage'.
Soon all of us may be putting out fires.
Blast the volume up and listen to Tom Petty's song, 'You Wreck Me'.
My father began all of our barbecues/cookouts with a can of gasoline.

‘Eggs’ is right. Physically and metaphorically. Fragile. We’re always just a split second from the other side aren’t we?
