Butch, member of the road crew along the Brownlee Creek Road. He made my day
by using the air on his truck to pump up my bike and trailer tires to maxium pressure
before I went up Brownlee Pass, and on to Cambridge & Weiser. Thanks again,
Butch! . . . Northeast Oregon / Idaho . .
On the road in the Northwest of America.

Perhaps poems are simply paths
we make in walking, sometimes,
even when headed the wrong way;

These things—gifts, one picks
up and passes on,
along the way.
