Water Truck Driver (w/ Updates)

Yesterday, (9/1/2005) another new person arrived on our property. The man who drives the water truck around the perimeter of the field stopped to visit with Matt who was splitting wood.

Everyone has a story. Lupe, age 58, weighed 350 pounds a year ago and now weighs 250. He stopped eating red meat.

I will investigate further.


9/6/2005: Matt saw Lupe using the water truck to water our flowers that are next to the field. They are basically drought-tolerant sweet allysum and a ground cover that the bees like because of it's tiny magenta flowers. And two cypress trees.

9/17/2005 (Saturday) We were eating early & watching a movie. Lupe honked & waved as he drove past.
I don't even know what he looks like. Life is strange.

9/19/2005: Lupe cruised by in the water truck again, honked & watered our plants--and Carol's too, I believe. I said to Matt, " When you make a friend, really make a friend." Matt said, "Yeah, I gave him a Coke (Coca Cola)."
