When I was in the Air Force in my young 20’s, with a job that didn’t require me to be on base on most weekends, I regularly drove the 3 hours each way to my parents’ house, sometimes by car and sometimes by motorcycle, routinely chalking up about 500 miles each weekend. It did not seem like a big deal then.
Now half a century has changed my view and I cringe at any trip taking more than a half hour. I haven’t been out of the county but about half a dozen times in the last 5 years, though the driving itself doesn’t bother me that much.
I’m probably gathering some moss.
