Maps
This life map is difficult at best to read
These types of journeys weren't designed to be sat nav'd
A tap of the screen and hey presto! dates and times displayed
with stop off rest breaks included,
Nope, it's not quite like that, Gotta be reading the road, every bump twist and turn to navigate,
Can't be all revealed miles in advance as we sit back and take in the sights
No instant alterative routes if the way forward seems blocked,
have to be concentrating at all times even when the road seems
quiet and straight.
But to enjoy you must, it wont always be so quiet, especially if we choose to take the back roads.
Breakdowns can happen.

Excellent metaphor! Sometimes I wish life was all mapped out. However, that would be boring knowing, always, what comes next. Would you stop to help if I were stranded on the side of that backroad?

Depends on whether you are a mad axe murderer
If so then I'd foot down and flick the finger lol

Somehow the phrase "Is that an ax in your pocket?" seems to conjure, in my my mind, the phrase "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!" :)
I am so adept at peanut sandwiches...I wrote a poem, "PB&J," about my fine culinary skill.

It's a bus
Bus stop
You were there
Stepped on
You didn't pay
Called police..

I am literally
thrown under the bus
the mighty wheels crushing
the life out of my
earthly vehicle
the coins for my fare
before hidden in my hand
roll onto the
now blood-stained pavement
My spirit undaunted remains
unmolested by the
rolling instrument
of death and destruction
my ghostly figure
boards, again the bus
you touch your lips
and shiver with a mixture
of pleasure and fear
warm and cold
knowing that somehow
you've been
by a phantasm kissed
I touch your cheek
wiping away the tear there
you can feel my still warm breath
as I whisper an imperceptible
message in your ear
and leave
to fulfill my new destiny
forever haunting your dreams

Well shiver me
If that's the case
You may scrub my back
That hard to reach place
Unless you have a loofer
If you do mr phantasm sir
Then you may
Back scrub that is

No such thing as a wrong turn - only a scenic route... if all are open to it...

I never had this "GPS" thing...compass & wit were all I ever had...
I wouldn't change a thang.
Backroads are the best :)

Yes to a point I agree
Some amazing places discovered when
lost, little quaint villages left forgotten by
Passing trade, when bypasses and major roads
Were built, people dont tend to venture too far off
The main roads
Just love exploring
Just as well as I'm hopeless at reading the road
Even with a sat nav!
Swear I'd do better blindfolded. .
"Use the force luke"
Hehe
