Why does the job situation stop people from driving their cars? They have
more time on their hands and need the joy of a ride with the top down and
wind in the face to forget their problems for a little while and to
straighten out their thoughts.
"Become a part of the solution, not a part of the problem." That was written
above the blackboard in my physics class in HS and is the only thing I
remember."
Whenever I have the "blues" I go for a ride in the country.
