New blogger friends' experiences have gotten me to thinking...could I get my hands on a VW Westfalia and hit the road? Of course I could! Will I? Not bloody likely. Not yet, anyway. Gotta keep that health insurance for the heart bypass and cancer coverage, don't you know. But the time may not be too far off.
While taking a break today, I started looking at what it might cost to buy a "Westy" with pop-up top, stove, etc., etc. Used, of course. Well, they are highly sought after, I have learned, and therein lies the dilemma. Should I get the real thing, which would require me to crack open the safe of a large bank in a small town? Wouldn't a Subaru Forrester do the trick? Or a Honda Element? They're afforable, at least to some people. Sure, they would do! But not a Hummer. Isabelita would beat me to death with heavy carabiners and chocks, as well she should.
Anyway, I'm not going to buy any of those vehicles just yet. But I promise that after I finish my welding class this summer, I'll give more than passing thought to following brother Timothy Leary's admonitions...a little.
