    It’s one of those things where people imagine they’re going to go on a big road trip… someday. Some may have done this when they were younger and imagine they’ll do it again because they aren’t too old for that yet.

    But the reality is having to plan to go places in specific routes at specific times to avoid traffic, sitting bumper to bumper in gridlock cursing out all of the idiot drivers all around you, while constantly being stressed one of the most expensive things you own might get damaged. Then voting for someone to fix the problem of all of the other idiots on the road because you’re the only one that isn’t an idiot… but you definitely are one of the idiot drivers.

    But maybe this weekend you’ll take a road trip and enjoy the freedom. Well not this weekend, you’re too exhausted from commuting 15 hours this week to be able to get up before sunrise to beat the cottage country traffic. But next weekend you’ll enjoy that freedom for sure!
