Michiana Chronicles: Back to Basics, Eh?
Outside the motel, our old orange Honda hatchback was parked next to a much taller and shinier bright red pickup truck. The owner walked toward his vehicle preceded by his hairy black and white sheepdog. That good-natured creature turned her head my way but kept to her edge of the narrow sidewalk. She just checked quickly to see if I was something to herd, and she sniffed out a quick first impression about my life. When I paused, the dog’s owner apologized, in case his lovely dog had caused me any concern. That was thoughtful of him, and it reminded me later of the Golden Rule. “No problem at all,” I said, and we both went back to loading our vehicles. The next time we passed on the sidewalk, I noticed the words on his navy blue t-shirt, “Be nice,” in small smoothly curving letters. “I like the message,” I said. “I get a lot of comments about it,” he said. “It’s a tense time we’re living in,” I replied. “Back to basics, eh?” he said. This sounded like a question he hoped we already shared an answer to. I nodded in agreement. Soon we started up our vehicles, and half hour later my spouse and I, in our orange Honda, were crossing southern Illinois.
