Instant youth…just sticking your elbow out the car window…this is a note from Betsy…with a couple of good questions. Any “Queens of the Road” out there ?
Wow, the memory of elbows sticking out of car windows brought back the “good ole days” for me too. I wonder though why there weren’t near as many Queen of the Roads? It seemed to be mostly a man thing. And I wonder why we don’t see it anymore? At least I don’t. Maybe because with a growing population there comes a growing number of roads, and they are wider and faster. Perhaps in the rural areas, on the farms and ranches, one can still see an occasional elbow or two — I hope so.
We need to learn to ALL be “Kings” or “Queens” of the Road – to be able to open the window and stick our left elbow out once in a while – to enjoy the taste of life in all its beauty and glory…
My first exposure to the theory of flight was putting my hand out the window of our car and noticing how changing the angle of attack made the wind push it up or down, playing airplane until Mom or Dad told us to get the hand inside before it was cut off by another car/pole/mailbox….
