Iconic, true. The anecdote too.  Luv to see some fogged-out twilight or dawn photo, as I’ve never been to that particular crossing …and it’s perhaps our long-traveling days are null..indefinitely.

For a year now I’ve traveled these turnpikes, occasionally complaining of the cost to benefits ratio  but mostly just driving the drive, and seeing far more kind smiling faces than buttheads at the various stops along the way. Then yesterday..came to the tollbooth, handed this grouchy lady the customary amount, she said … nah, that’ll be doubled as of NOW, silly rabbit. I said, no, you got the lot. She said, try again sucka. & so I passed over the king’s ransom and went about my slightly more agitated way.

Yesterday, they completed installation & implementation of Huxley’s turnpike protocol. & I beg to wonder how we will wander in the thunder & the rains to come, my excellent sons. I wonder …as I shudder to think

oh to recall the days of stink-finger and KISS records
