Editor note:
More from Tom
By Tom Allin
While we were eating breakfast, Jane came out of the kitchen and asked us where we were going today. I answered we were driving to Manchester. Immediately she said she would write out the most scenic drive for us to take to Manchester. Then Jane’s visiting girlfriend from Manchester said not only would it be scenic but no slower due to all the Sunday traffic on the highway. I knew anything scenic meant narrow roads but I am slowly getting used to closing my eyes, steady on the gas pedal, and praying for divine intervention.
During yesterday’s walk from the farm to Hartington and back I had a heart-to-heart talk with myself. I reminded myself I had survived six months of driving in India – a country where driving is the art of the insane, roads are narrow with everything on them but cars, certifiable crazy taxi drivers everywhere, and don’t forget cows, oh yes and buses.
