“I fortified myself with a “car broiled” Peanut Butter and
Jelly sandwich which I had been tending on the dashboard since I left
home. It was nice and gooey – just as it should be. I had noted as
first one side, then the other, worked up a nice head of steam in the Ziploc
bag on the sunlit dash. Washed down with some ice cold lemonade from the
thermos I had packed, it tasted like the ghost of sandwiches from a dozen
of summer trips past, laced with the excitement of a child strapped in the back
seat of the family car.”
