"Dirt Roads"
Folks who live on a dirt road learn that life is a bumpy ride. It can be more of a jarring trip than you maybe had planned but it is worth it, if at the end of the road, you find friendship, hospitality and a genuine appreciation of family, neighbors and folks dropping by.
A “drive by shooting” on a dirt road means you or your neighbor happened to catch a wall-hanger buck crossing right in front of you.
Dirt roads teach patience.
When more folks lived on dirt roads, you soon learned that cuss words tasted like soap.
For those of us who live on a dirt road, the only time we lock our car doors is late summer so, when unattended, someone doesn’t fill it with too much zucchini.
When traveling dirt roads, “restrooms” are always available, …for none of which do you need a key.
Dirt roads are how you get to your neighbors to put out grass fires, attend brandings, help pull someone out of the gumbo, attend weddings, baptisms, graduations and all other special community events.
People on dirt roads do not tailgate, …if they did the guy in front would choke you with dust & bust your windshield with flying rocks.
Dirt roads help build character.
Folks tend to drive slower on a dirt road, which provides an opportunity to look and think things over.
Sure, there are inconveniences when traveling a dirt road, but maybe we have come to focus only on those, forgetting the rewards we once took for granted.
