Do you know that June 26 is a momentous day in gay rights history? On this date in 2003, 2013, and 2015, the United States Supreme Court made three major rulings that firmly established our right to love whom we love, serve in the military, and get married. Look those up here.
And today the Blue Truck has passed a big milestone - 5000 posts, over 9000 comments, nearly 4 million pageviews, according to my Blogger dashboard:

So instead of the usual Friday men, here's a rerun of me and M.P. back in June of 2010, cooling off and splashing around at Chickasaw National Recreation Area, a beautiful big green park up in Oklahoma.
Now much less adventurous in our 70s, we're content just to stay home, out of the sun and under the a/c. We well recall a time when "homosexual" was a dirty word, a mortal sin, a major crime, and a psychotic disorder, and are very grateful that we have lived to see gay couples living together openly and happily just as all other ordinary people do.
Hope all my truckbuddies are having a great weekend wherever you are. Life is fleeting - enjoy what you can while you can.

Hey there Tim, always good to hear from you. It seems most of my truckbuddies have faded away, I guess to flashier social media stuff, but I know from my stats page that some are still riding along. Glad to have you with me after all these years, buddy. Take care and stay cool in that big bad heatwave over there!
