Deep Thoughts for Spring

Spring: it's almost come!  Here in Minnesota the temperature was up to 39 degrees F, at least at my house, and such warm weather brought down bikes, scooters, trikes, and roller blades.  While watching my little siblings and neighbors out enjoying the heat (and yes, I was out there, too) I began to see the situation as I believe that St. Augustine might have; precisely, why do we humans like to ride on wheels so much?  Cars, motorcycles, go-carts, tractors, four-wheelers, golf carts, and of course all the above-mentioned recreational vehicles seem to attract us somehow.  Is it the smooth gliding along?  (And if this is so, why do my roller blades have any appeal?)  Or does the speed call to us?  Well, whatever the reason, I am glad that the wheel was invented, and I am sure that I will continue to make use of it for my entire life.
