Sounds like you're working for your truck bro. One says to me, "I wonder that you do not lay up money; you love to travel; you might buy a truck and go to /out/ to-day and see the country." But I am wiser than that. I have learned that the swiftest traveller is he that goes afoot. I say to (you), Suppose we try who will get there first. The distance is thirty miles; the gas $40. That is almost half a day's wages. I remember when wages were sixty cents a day for laborers on this very road. Well, I start now on foot, and get there before night; I have travelled at that rate by the week together. You will in the meanwhile have earned your gas, your insurance, your registration with a more set aside for parking and tickets and arrive there some time to-morrow, or possibly this evening, if you are lucky enough your truck doesn't break down. Instead of going /out/, you will be working here the greater part of the day. And so, if the roads and gas stations reached round the world, I think that I should keep ahead of you; and as for seeing the country and getting experience of that kind, I should have to cut your acquaintance altogether.
