It takes all kinds, peterws. I have come to understand certain personality types do not appreciate the existential quality, the serenity, of long rides, but there are many reasons to take a long ride. I don't know what my reasons are, but there is the scenery, the progression of the seasons and the crops in the field. Last week I saw a 300 pound pig lying asleep on the front porch of a farmhouse about 50 feet from the road; a sight like that is enough for me to keep riding and wondering what I'll see over the next hill. I am never bored. I have plenty of other things to do but don't let those things rule my life. I saw a pig sleeping on a porch!!!
