Hit the Road, Jack.

Wanderlust. Many of us have it. Those of us who do want to get up and go. Sometimes we don’t even care where we go as long as we’re moving. “Want to go to Orlando and cruise up and down International Drive?” “Let me get my shades.”
Prudence. Some of us don’t have it. It’s that voice in the back of your head (which may sound vaguely like your mother) that says, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Yeah, that little voice may be a bit of a nag, but you would be wise to listen.
Rain. We haven’t seen much lately, but the season is coming where it will be falling in buckets, like cats and dogs, like water pouring out of a boot. Are your wipers ready for the onslaught? No? Well, your timing is pretty good on this one.
