SEARCH Travels With LD

May 01, 2008

Southeastern Kansas is a bit hilly and so is southern Missouri. I'm finding that once I get off the plains the state roads get a bit slower and more fatiguing to drive, especially with the winds out here the past couple of days.

With the rising gas prices, I've been a bit concerned LD's gas mileage might suffer on the Interstate but that doesn't seem to be the case. At my usual 65 mph I find I'm running just a tad over 9 mpg pretty consistently.

People are Themselves

I hadn't realized before I wrote "Are You Somebody" that I for one need constantly to relearn a simple thing - that I do not understand other people as they understand themselves. Rob's reaction, and much more importantly, Nell's, made me understand that I am one person and other people are themselves, and not what I have decided they are.
