forsythPeople are a lot alike. Where ever I go, I get the same questions. They ask if I'm traveling 'cause I'm looking for myself. Nope, I know where I am, I tell 'em. Right here.
Am I looking for America, then? For enlightenment? For buried treasure? None of them.
Then what are you doin wandering around like this? Just generally lookin', is what I tell 'em. That's so I don't miss somethin' while all my faculties are bein used lookin' for somethin' else. Never really know what I'm lookin' for run across it. More fun that way. Like a mystery.
(Brief detour. More Death in High Places later. Also, when I wrote this, I had a sort of image of some weatherbeaten old guy, dusty from the road, with a bike and a wide hat. What's it with me and big hats? I dunno, but for travel in the sun they're good. But still.)
