Points for trying something new

I have been thinking about how my friend Ulysses gets points on his chart for trying new things. This is good. It would be a different world if we all had that viewpoint about new places, new people, and experiences that are a bit daunting because they are unfamiliar. Take today, I decided to take the back roads to my after school teaching gig. So I ventured out with few other cars but a cement mixer, on roller coaster hills and valleys. This is what I saw: a turkey made out of a bale of hay. That was a really big turkey. I say long horn cattle and I have decided they are way cooler than regular cows. I do however think that despite their reputation for being dolts, I think regular cows have kind faces . I saw a farmer eating a sack lunch in his huge John deer tractor and a place called "Hide Ranch" that had nothing but rows of gutted cars, car parts and weeds. I really couldn't tell you what was going on at any of these places, but things were. I was definitely a tourist, but the trip through the quiet, solid, content part of the world refreshed my soul. I hope I get points on my chart.
