Rodger Pettichord Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Hi all. It has often been said that life is a journey, with the paths we choose determining the destinations we reach. This week's topic invites you to pick a path, literally or metaphorically, that might be good for you. THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: Which of these roads most likely would take you where you most would like to go? A. B. C. D. E. F.

John Heaton Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Actually - where I used to want to go - "A" - the road I took to LONGREACH in the Outback once a month between Longreach and my home on the Gold Coast = 1000+ kms - as I returned home for the weekend 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 For me C as well, looks like fresh air and relaxed loneliness. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfish55 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 D. Past experience has shown me that the chosen path can throw up all sorts of issues and that alternative routes must be taken, whether it is life choices such as education, career, partner selection and equally important, pastimes and hobbies. Throw in the unknowns such as health concerns which have derailed plans. That is why I keep an open mind and have options just in case of obstacles along the way. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 E for me. Some sunshine on the coast in a warmer climate might lift my spirit. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Abernathy Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 E for me. Warm tropical breezes, crisp surf to ride, soft sand, mai tai's 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 E for me. Warm relaxing quite the opposite to here this time of year. And with a cold friend in hand. cheers Gumby 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 "B" for me. I love the mountains too, and if you'd featuring the D&RG narrow gauge it might have been my choice. But I love going through the woods! Edges out the mountains, but not by much. Ken 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 C for sure. I did a half day trip to Mount Rainier and I didn't want to go back to where I was staying as I loved the scenery so much. The view from the trail we took as well as all the wildlife was just heaven to me. It was strange, the first place I walked a trail on Vancouver Island, reading the information board warning about Cougars and Bears and what to do if confronted by one. We have a forest along the river where I live and you have to be like a Chameleon. One eye on the ground for snakes one eye ahead and a third would be handy in the back of your head looking out for two legged snakes! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to say: When I drove along highway once "F" once () I didn't see any gas station's or signs showing: "Fresh bait, sandwiches or icy cold beers" (Did a ueey real quick). Didn't have the courage then to post. But thanks to you I have now. Actually I changed my mind entirely. Highway "C" with a "full cooler". The made me do it. Lol.

Jim sadly passed away recently. But Jim looked just like TR, and he knew his subject extremely well. Now, TR had a daughter by his first wife named Alice. While president, TR commented on Alice's outrageous behavior, "I can run the country, or I can control Alice; I can't possibly do both." Well, Jim came in one day with a garter snake in his shirt pocket, and introduced his pet as Emily Spinach. He explained that Alice kept a pet snake of that name, named after two things she hated most. Her Aunt Emily, and spinach! Ken 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Without a doubt or hesitation, B for me. I love forests more than anything in life, hiking, camping, you name it, I have a natural affinity for trees and shady forests. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Actually, while I don't fear the little, ordinary garden variety, I'm not stuck on them either. But they are a part of our world. Years ago I was at home with roommate, girlfriend and cat. Cat caught a garter snake and brought it into the kitchen. Cat wanted to play with it. Girlfriend wanted to study it. Roommate was absolutely terrified! I was merely annoyed. Though not fond of snakes, I bear them no animosity, OUTSIDE! I just wanted to get it out of my kitchen! The interplay between the various participants was like the Keystone Cops. But when I was in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm, sand vipers were a real hazard. Not harmless! BTW, I don't have an Aunt Emily, so I can't judge. I like spinach but can't eat much because it interferes with medication I have to take.
