Song of the Open Road

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,

Healthy, free, the world before me,

The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,

Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,

Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,

Strong and content I travel the open road.

-- from Song of the Open Road, by Walt Whitman

This is how I feel every day on my long drive home! And just so you know, these pictures are from the National Weather Service for Indiana ... I didn't take them on the actual open road.
