Bad Roads bring Good People

The Dalai hangs in some interesting places.
He's a frequent visitor to Bloomington, Indiana. His church (?) has some kind of center there.
It's not my cup of coffee, but they at least seem dedicated to peace.
 
I was hoping to get more responses on the "roads" part of this post, but I guess I wasn't clear enough on that. Oh well, at least there's always the lookers....

I think I'm gonna end up talking to myself on this post, but heres what ran through my head when I read this article.

It does make sense though, the fact that "bad roads bring good folk, good roads bring all folk" makes a lot of sense, if you think about it.

When I read that article (well, before I read it), I was thinking that bad roads were the old country gravel roads that farmers/ranchers use to travel down to check cattle or move mahcinery, or visit a neighbor, and I was thinking that these roads are bad enough so that some "bad apples" wouldn't dare go down them for fear of getting lost and hitting a dead end and/or it's always slow going, especially going through some terrible ruts and pot holes along the way. AND they really wouldn't go down some old rut-strewn road, especially if they've got a police cruiser on their tail.

At least bad roads slow down traffic, around here anyway...

For the good folk, like the article states, they'd be the so-called "explorers" or "tourists" (I hate that term) going for a Sunday drive. Or just curious as to see what lies over the next hill.

Okay, I hope I cleared that up a bit, but then again let me know if I've posted this just to talk to/amuse myself. Besides, I can't even get outside to do anything, it's so cold (only 4 C) and rainy out right now... yuck...
 
I've been down many a bad road on my travels around the world, and it is true you do find some amazing things. on normal tarmac roads it is Touristy (is there such a word) and to commercialised. often, off the beaten track is best. :) I enjoyed reading the post anyway. it bought back some good memories of travels.
