This is my commute to work .. I call it my "revenge tour." [View all]

Last edited Sat Nov 1, 2025, 01:16 PM - Edit history (2)

This road is rough .. very rough (like life) .. one of the worst roads that I have ever driven. But there is never any hurry.

Slow down and appreciate the ride. It's something I learned long ago flying big airplanes. Slow down for turbulence (we called it "bump speed" ).

Find beauty in something. Stay healthy, if you can. Share happiness. Enjoy life. Find peace. This is my "revenge tour."
