Hitchin a Ride


Tom has some very strange passions – including an obsession with anything related to weather or geography. His latest theory has to do with spring, a season sandwiched between winter and summer.

According to his precise calculations, spring starts in the south somewhere around Mexico, and slowly but surely makes her way north, covering about 1000 miles per month – or about 32.25806 miles per day.

I personally like this idea, and prefer to imagine Spring as a young woman – hitchhiking north, while always sticking to the back roads.
If Tom’s theory is correct, Spring is at this very moment, shooting pool in an Oregon truck stop - just off Highway 97 North.
