As I may have written before, whenever I go to Laredo, I enjoy buying tacos from a vendor named "Toby." He & his family had been mysteriously absent from the Schneider OC for the past few months. On one of my trips into the guard's office, I noticed an obituary taped to a divider. Toby had passed away in February. I was truly saddened. The guards who were on-duty hadn't been around long enough to feel the significance of his passing, but I did. Although Toby and I were minimal acquaintances, he was someone that I always looked forward to seeing when I visited Laredo. For my entire ten-year employment in trucking, he has been there - serving tacos and telling stories. He will be missed.
