Days to drive for no reason.

Gas prices are down… do you go for joy rides again? I did… took off after a meeting…headed out of town… didn’t have the hunting vehicle, didn’t have the truck that tows the race car trailer…had the Sunday go to meeting luxury sedan… headed out of town…


On the edge of town, there was a VERY elderly couple who were getting out of their 1970’s car… it was parked along the ditch… they stepped out of the car, him from the driver side… her from the the passenger side… not walking well…crumpled up plastic bags…walmart, grocery store bags….. they were going to walk along the ditch and pickup the bottles and other trash that people threw out along that road. I WANTED TO STOP AND HELP… I WANTED TO WALK FOR AN HOUR ALONG THE DITCH AND PICK UP TRASH….I WANTED TO BE BESIDE THEM…. It was a beautiful day… I didn’t do it… but some day… I WILL… I KNOW I WILL.


Kept driving… even ran up on dirt roads, became lost… and was tickled about it… found small towns… drove slowly… mainstreet small towns… here is the the challenge…. Go for drives… buy from stores that are no wider than 30 feet across… enjoy the people… have a relaxing time. Eat at the franchise fast food place too…. Why not… the people need it to stay in business… if the franchise fast food place doesn’t have enough business, it will leave… help out the locals…
