Traffic Log


My commute to work:
Stuck behind oversized combine pulling load of corn, moving 10 mph....
Then, smooth sailing until cookie-cutter subdivision sprawl infests roadway; 10 minute backup to pivotal intersection....
Final 2 miles, road crew shaves a lane with cones...crew stands around observing gridlock handiwork.

Total travel time: 50 minutes

Martin's commute:
Stop to glance at wolf spider hanging from screen door....
Step over cat sprawled in grass.

Total travel time: 30 seconds.

10 acres, five horses & sheep, a couple of kids, and one nutty Border Collie. Best case scenario? Pastoral nirvana. Reality? Repairs, manure and constant chaos.
