All the times we begged rides, hitchhiked . . . But how about the many things that do change — like to and from school . . . that first long ride in September . . . all the times we begged rides, hitchhiked, had to take a late train or bus . . . sometimes we even had to fly . . . and the “inn-hopping” on highway 30 or 13 or 51 . . . fumbling for the $1.05 for the tollway . . . we had the wrorst weather to travel in, too . . . many the times we swore we’d never start out in a storm again . . . but it was always good to get back . . . even the signs seemed like home. 19
