Cruise

Leave a comment

Driving has always been one of the joys in life to me. It seems to be the passion of a good number of people. From classics to modern missiles, from domestics to imports, from compacts to full size, from beetles to monster trucks, from motorcycles to trikes. It’s all about hitting the road.

And I feel tonight might be a good evening to take a ride. A late Wednesday evening cruise to clear my head. The highways are open ribbons of engineering marvels when empty.

Being I don’t own a monster like the below beauty, I can easily cruise in stealth with the stock exhaust through the night. Enjoying the summer breeze with the top down.

A lot of my friends use car washes now. I still wash my own and dry and polish it. I kind of enjoy it just as much as I did in the 70s when I was doing the same thing. It always feels good when the ride is shining.

I do need to call the mechanic though. My AC is on the fritz. Not that I use it much but it’s nice to have if I get caught in a summer thunderstorm.

As I was cleaning the trunk I ran into my old CD case and realized I had some music in there that I don’t have on the phone so maybe it’s an old school night on the speakers.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • The rule changes have made baseball enjoyable again.
  • Looking forward to getting up each day, is living.
  • Let’s help turn this thing around.
  • Someone who seems to crave attention, looks and sounds like a punch-drunk fighter.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
