Saw one of my brothers yesterday...

We were doing pretty much the same thing when our paths crossed..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was headed east, out of Lawton, on one of those roads Oklahoma is loaded with. You know, you cross over a road and the one you are on gets a bit rougher and goes from a named road into county road #....well, you know.

I was easing along, leaving the harried and hurried, in their quest to meet with him or her about this and that.

We were both just going about the business of no business. No rush, no where to be and no certain time to be there. Both enjoying one of those special Oklahoma mornings. Where the warm, late summer sun meets the cool early autumn breeze.

We stopped and checked each other out. Exchanged pleasantries and with one of those three finger waves, followed with a customary Oklahoma nod of the head, we moved on. Me to the east, on two wheels, him to the south, on four legs. Minding our own.

Just about then, I was thinking, there are many I know that could use this. All you have to do is ride out...or sit behind me. I will take you somewhere without a thing worth remembering....that you will never forget.

I've been known to ask, "Why did those folks stop here in the first place?" I bet on a horse, it would take forever to cross these hot dry plains. Ha, especially if you weren't in any kind of hurry. Think I figured it out.
