Not like āoh man Iām driving four hours to get to Fernieā road trips but like a
āIām in the backseat of the family van and it smells like suitcases and I have my favourite pillow scrunched between the cracked leather seat and the windows and Iām staring at those black dots along the windows edge because why are those there? And its also 5:00am in Revelstoke and weāre about to stop at the borderline satirically named āLa Baguetteā for breakfast and the sun isnāt fully up but you can see the mountainsā
Road trip. You know. One of those!
I love windscreen time. Ā Itās therpeutic. Ā I live on a farm in ohio but do a lot of work in New York.Sometimes Iāll drive. Ā I listen to books. Ā I treat myself to a two cheeseburger meal at McDonaldās.I have a little air cooled 911 and planning a 2500 mile road trip in it to a friends wedding in July. Ā Thereās something about bonding with a machine that I love. Ā I love the smell of oil and gas and manually rowing through gears on beautiful byways. Ā Stress drops away and itās meditative for me.
