You can never go back...except for deliveries

 Today I got to visit an old neighbourhood I once lived in.

 When I first moved to the US in 1980, my parents rented a house for two years, before buying a home. Just around the corner from that house, was my first delivery of the day! Three yards of topsoil.

 Now, the apartment I live in is only about twenty minutes away. But I have no reason to visit the area. Nobody I know lives there anymore.  

 There I am driving a big truck down a street I lived on 24 years ago. Driving a dump truck filled with dirt, no less. Certainly not the dreams of a 17 year old back in '82.  

Anyways, a lady greets me as I pull up in front of her house. I have her sign the invoice, there's some friendly banter about the weather and directions where she wants the load dumped. The lady returns to her gardening. I dump the load and leave.

On many of my deliveries, the customer will ask me about my English accent and other related personal questions. But this lady was probably too focused on the work to her front lawn for such idle chatter with a delivery man. I was just itching to mention I once lived around the corner.

I used to deliver newspapers to the house she lives in too...in what seems a lifetime ago.
