When I was nine, my parents borrowed my grandmother's new Ford Mustang because it had air conditioning and because my grandmother insisted, and because there was no way our old Chevy could make the two thousand miles from our house on Mayo Avenue in Houston to Decker, Montana, where my father's old Army buddy owned a sheep ranch. . . . It was the first day after third grade at Pearl Rucker Elementary School, and I held the bag of peppermints Mrs. Dodge had given me, along with a note: "Thank you for being my star this year." I didn't like peppermints, but they were from Mrs. Dodge, and I loved Mrs. Dodge. So my two younger sisters wouldn't get a single one for the whole drive there and back. We drew imaginary boundaries on the vinyl seat and dared each other to cross them.
