I'm sitting at a red light thinking about how beautiful the day is. It's a crisp, sunny North Carolina afternoon. I'm thinking the heat off the engine actually feels good for a change. The sky is blue. I have nowhere to go, but plenty of time to get there. Maybe stop and have lunch at a small diner about 50 miles away. Life is good.
Next to me pulls up a pickup with a guy and his wife. I know it's his wife 'cause she's just going on and on about something that doesn't mean nothing to this poor guy. Blah, Blah, Blah-you can just hear the meaningless jibberish. I know 'cause I'm married too, and you can just hear it! So this poor guy is now facing out his window at me. She's now talking-blah blah-to the rear of his head. He gets this little smile on his face and slowly raises his hand and points to me-then gives me a little "thumbs up" that wifey can't see 'cause she's still talking away, nonstop, to the rear of his head. For a second he is a million miles away-and happy.
The light changes and I pull away. It's my ride, maybe his dream. Now should I take that "shortcut" up ahead that will add another 10 miles to the ride?
I see that look often around here. Up here These guys are in the volvo or saab their wives are blah, blah, blah about how the hairdresser added the wrong highlights in her hair blah, blah , blah. He looks over for the split second and stares then grin. however I also seen a guy getting hit by a purse from his wife for staring. So I had to flip the B*tch off I felt kinda bad for him.
I have a wife and 3 daughters......so my life is like living in a girl's dorm even though we have a 5 bedroom house.....so it's blah blah blah 24/7/365 around here. But usually they are attacking each other in one form or another. However, the ladies know that Dad needs to get on his Harley for some "me time" every now and then. They are cool with it.....[sm=biker.gif]
