Road Trip

I know I just got back from a trip to the Holy Land, but I am afraid it's time to hit the road again. This time the destination is not quite so easy to pin down on a map. Perhaps you've heard of places like Scottsdale, and Scotts Bluff. Well I am off in search of the mythical place known as Scott's Hips.

Many people travel to foreign lands to find themselves. As I embark on this journey, it is my goal to lose (at least part of) myself, regardless of what else I may find along the way. While I can vaguely recall having seen Scott's Hips before, it was long ago when I was just a sprig. I am afraid that my memory of it has faded over time. In fact, I have yet to run across a single living soul who can accurately recall what Scott's Hips even looked like :(

I am told that if this place still exists, it is best found on a simple bicycle. How fortunate! With gasoline prices having reached a point where the cost of operating a motor vehicle is in the neighborhood of 20 to 25 cents a mile (five miles for a dollar!), we live in times where every road has become a toll road. I find it to be very good news indeed that I can search for Scott's Hips to my heart's content and stay out of those high-priced neighborhoods altogether. Considering it therefore to be a sound investment, I have done my research and purchased a worthy machine.

So wish me luck as I take to the road this summer on a quest to find that piece of my past which may be present in the future (sorry). I am told that while it may not be easy, and may take a bit of time -- the longer I look, the clearer Scott's Hips will appear. I hope I am up to the challenge.
