View from the Road

Zipping down an interstate at 75 mph, with nothing to do but sit and talk, can be a good thing. You learn stuff about people. Everyone has stories. Some are really interesting, like when someone shares about their past hobby of hunting with falcons. Some are wacky, like an in-depth discussion on preferred urinals (for the record, someone in the van likes the shorter, low riding urinal, as he ‘pees with great force.’). We talked of towns we’ve visited. People we know. On and on we talked, and sure enough, the miles melted away.


Here is the view from the back seat of the Road Trip Express. Have Starbucks, will travel.


Our guide for the trip was the silky smooth voice of the Garmen Lady. She won’t do you wrong, and is clearly the exception to Ulysses Everett McGill’s comment to “never trust a female.”

More to come . . .
