Goodbye, Freightliner

Two weeks ago, the Lord graciously kept the eldest Smith scion alive and uninjured during the roll of his faithful steed. Attached are some photographs of the primary vehicular participant in this affair.

We, especially this author, are particularly thankful to our Blessed Lord for His provision and mercy. No-one was injured in the debacle, and He has been very kind to Katie and I throughout the aftermath. Praise His holy name!
