The NPR Fresh Air interview with Long Haul Truck Driver & Author, Finn Murphy
Given how much I enjoyed this Fresh Air interview, I’m eager to read long haul truck driver Finn Murphy’s book The Long Haul. He’s spent decades packing and hauling Americans' belongings, accumulating a wealth of wisdom on the topic of stuff. He and I share at least two things in common:
- Paying such close attention to objects for so many years has made us surprisingly less sentimental about objects. This is in part due to witnessing the cycle of beloved objects: home - storage - donation or trash. It sounds over-simplified, but ashes to ashes, dust to dust also applies to everything we bring in through the front door.
- We’ve both observed firsthand that the worst drivers are in and around DC!!
