Seeing More of the Community
By Dale Morrow
I have been riding my motorcycle to work for the last week. It has been a number
of years since I have ridden on the highway. There are changes that have taken
place. It requires more attention and concentration. I am adjusting and I am
enjoying the ride. The first day I did not notice to much, I was concentrating
on being safe. As time has gone along I have been able to incorporate more
pleasure into my rides. I am adventuring on different roads, trying to find the
most safe and pleasant routes. That is the fun part. I am seeing more of the
community and going on roads I have not traveled in a long time. These trips have taken me past the homes of old classmates
and friends from my youth. The memories and questions that come to my mind have
brought me great pleasure. Some roads I have not traveled for 35 or 40 years.
Who would have thought that the purchase of a motorcycle would have led me back
on old adventures. Maybe I am, recapturing, at least the memories of my youth. The rides I have taken through our community have taken me
down "memory lane." My "View From The Road" has been very nostalgic.
