Blue Highways

I love travelling the blue highway, you know, the ones that have a 32 or 17 for a number. It's really not an impressive number when you think about it. Kind of random, so to speak. Not much is stately about 8, or 5, for that matter. Those numbers don't hold the prestige of , say, or 55! No, these are the roads that take you through Bixby, Success and, let's see, do I want to go to Houston or Licking? OK, let's go through Licking. The roads, where every once in awhile, you could time it to where your stomach gets caught in your throat for just..one..second. I started in Farmington at 4:15 pm and arrived in Joplin at a bit before nine. Not bad at all for taking the "blue highways" most of the way
