“How Comes” From the Road
Fulltime RVers have a unique perspective of what goes on out there–mostly because we ARE out there, so much of the time. We see the good, the bad, and the ugly on America’s highways, freeways, and backroads. Maybe as we wind up the year, we spend a little more time cogitating what we see, and it leads to a few, “how comes”
How come –
– So many folks just can’t seem to get it through their heads that it’s the courteous thing to pull your rig ahead and out from in front of the fuel pumps when you’ve finished fueling? Instead of leaving the car, truck, or (perish the thought) RV blocking the rest of the waiting traffic, if they’d simply pull it ahead, we’d all get there a little more smoothly.
– We like the bathroom in our own RV better than those provided in the rest area we’ve stopped at? It doesn’t take much of a brain to figure that one out! Because California is so close to bankruptcy, that they can’t afford to keep soap in the dispensers! Or because the fool who stepped out of the stall in front of you doesn’t know what a flush handle is for.
–The center lane is the slow lane, the right lane is the passing lane, and the left lane is a fast and slow lane?
–Fuel prices are going up, while oil prices are continuing to implode?
–Conversations with your grown up children are so short, but when they were two, you couldn’t get them to shut up?
Perhaps as the new year rolls along, new vistas are seen, and quiet refuges of nature are visited, we’ll have time to ponder these, and more such cosmic questions.
