another story "on the road"...

like i mentioned earlier on this blog,i traveled most of the days in the last seven years,while "on the road"... honestly,if you had to find me,there was no chance to do that,because i kept moving,almost every day,except on those rare days that i decided to settle down,like time in Washington state,or time in Orange County,California... most of that time,i traveled from Reno,to Las Vegas,to Albuquerque,to Denver,to Salt Lake,or a combination of those cities... occasionally,i would go to Boise,Seattle,Portland,towns in Utah,Colorado,Nebraska,Missouri,Iowa,going through the Eastern United States,Chicago,Cleveland,Sandusky,Akron,Scranton,Newark,New York City,New Haven,and Waterbury,towns in the Hudson Valley... why mentioned all those towns??? simply,because every single city,area of a state that i mentioned has a story attached to it that is funny,and/or strange... some of the stories you know,some you will know,and yet,they are fascinating to remember... on the first of two major trips,back East to visit a dear friend,on the way home,i got lost for four days in the Hudson Valley,outside of White Plains... after a couple days,i decided to explore the area... i was on a county bus line,and i found myself outside of Ossining,and staring at the infamous "Sing Sing" state prison,and i was in Peekskill,and Poughkeepsie,walking around that area,and actually enjoying the scenery,because,sometimes,i just wanted to relax,and spend some quiet time by myself... not all the time "on the road" was a bummer,it was a pleasure,because some of the people that i met were simply sweethearts,they would leave you alone,and i really enjoyed that quiet time in lower New York State,because being "on the road" most of the time was a drag,but on those rare occurrences,it was really pleasant... i remember that time,and really loved it,at that time,because soon,i knew that i was back "on the road",and i cringed...
