I got a friend with all sorts of superstitions about cars. She believes in the whole Saint Christopher thing and keeps a plastic stature of him on her dashboard glued with this uber version of super glue. She claimed it came from NASA where her father worked, but she claimed a lot of things. She was a storyteller about everything and never wasted a chance to entertain someone with a story. She was like Almost Browne expect her name was Cat Morgan. Cat Morgan had a story about her name too.

Cat had all sorts of stories about anything and everything that she could lay her hands on. Dishwashing fluid, mops, roofs, school parking lots, new tires . There are more things I could tell you she has stories about, but I cannot remember them all. Just those. The story about tires is an especially good tale. It stopped mattering to me whether or not this tall tales or big fish were real. I got to understanding that it wasn’t the tale and what was true in it or not true in it that mattered, but what she was trying to tell with the tale. There was where you could find the real, the authentic, the truth if you want it. But you had to look hard.

Here is her story about tires: she was driving on throughway and about two miles ahead of her was a gigantic and monstrous semi truck painted with a Chinese dragon on it that circled around the truck a couple of times with its curvy body. Anyway, she wanted to get a closer look at it because she loves dragons. Cat has stories about dragons too. So she tried to get closer and closer to the dragon, scything a path through the other automobiles on the road. Then she saw the body of the dragon split open, in the back where the door was to upload and unload things. Columns and columns of tires were back there, a whole army of them in the belly of the Chinese dragon semi truck. The tires spilled out and rolled around the road marble-style. A lot of people were mad and unhurt but she just laughed because got another good story to tell. I still don’t know what’s authentic in this story, which is why I like retelling it because I hope to never know.
