Old Fuel ?

[Gardner Yeaw]

I think the secret is to stay longer at your destination. It does
cost a lot of money to run a coach, but if you plan your trip and
stay long enough it still beats a motel and riding in the car.

For me, it is a hobby; A hobby that has recently taken on a pretty
high cost. I have to rationalize it by knowing that I love the drive
in the Bird as much as the final destination.

I don't know how long I can hold onto the rationilizaton, but it's
my story and I'm stickin to it.
