Surprises for sure. Like seeing your name pop up! Hope all is well with you and you’ve avoided any unfortunate incidents in Gotham.

The road not traveled (yet), however short, can still bring up a surprise.

In reply to Tom.

You are absolutely correct — some rides are all about the destination. I want a hot dog now…

Forested solitude, yes we have a lot of that here. Pennsylvania is surprisingly forested.

I often see evidence of those rationalizing animals. People have a way of devising plans to get what they want. Perspective is one aspect. Greed and power another. On and on it goes.

I took the scoot out for a BBQ hot dog yesterday. The adventure was not so much the ride to the hot dog stand as it was the hot dog. Sometimes the adventure lies elsewhere, and the bike is just the means to get there.

Man is not a rational animal, he’s a rationalizing animal. I read that somewhere once and it’s one of the truths which shape my outlook on life….that and it’s all about what perspective one uses to view a situation. You brought of these to mind with this post, Steve. I still envy you the forested solitude of your rides.
