Though not far from us, I hadn’t noticed that a new used-car lot had spring up—as if Uruguay needs another!
When we arrived in Uruguay, I was fond of mimicking something Henry Ford may or may not have said over 100 years ago: In Uruguay, the customer can have a car in any color he wants, as long as it’s silver.
I thought that had changed. Perhaps it has. Perhaps everyone has traded in their silver cars? I’ll be paying more attention….
“… they paved paradise and put up a parking lot” is “Big Yellow Taxi,” originally written and performed by Joni Mitchell. It’s happening in Uruguay.
