Lost

I read this in The Lincoln Highway by Michael S. Williamson:

“As funny as it sounds sometimes getting lost can be good. There are travelers who consider getting lost an art. It can be a balm for the soul, allowing those who are lost to learn more about themselves by altering the predictable course of life.” The quote of my life. I don’t mind getting lost. Let the fun begin.

I always wonder what refineries are letting into the atmosphere. Probably why I have issues with Spare The Air days that won’t let people burn wood in their fire places on cold nights. But trucks can sit with their engines running. The bridges won’t charge $20 to cross on spare the air days. This is one of the problems with letting government have so much power.

I was at Vista Point when I started talking to a guy. He was saying how he is afraid to ride a bike because it seemed so dangerous. I told him it has gotten better over the years. I started thinking how crazy it was to ride a bike during the late 80’s. I remember cars honking their horns, getting close to me, and throwing things at me. Now cars give me room and I haven’t had anything thrown at me for a while. I do get honked at now and then but who knows what is going on.

I especially hate when cyclist are riding side by side running their mouths and won’t let a car pass. Why can’t they stop talking form a single line and let the car pass. Instead the car driver gets pissed, goes into the next lane when safe, and lays on his horn. Now that driver is pissed at all bicyclist.
