We
bought a new car yesterday – a 2014 Toyota Camry – and I think its sleek,
silvery look made the day feel especially smooth. Partly because the car seemed
to shine more than most as we drove it home, the whole afternoon appeared to proceed
in a streamlined way. Minutes came and went like graceful friends, and the
sprinkling rain had a stylish look across the town. At home, our late-season
lawn had a glossy look to it, and the almost bare tree limbs somehow looked silky.
I think we both felt more sophisticated, more stylish, now that we had
something suave and lustrous sitting in our driveway.
