1 guess the reason I've been in Whitby for 23 years is that Whitby is such a nice place to corne back to. Froin tinie to tinie, whether it be for business or a holiday or even just a weekend at a cottage 1 arn out of town and away fromi what consider a comfortable environnient. Take a city like Toronto. You don't have to spend too nîany hours in there fighiting traffic and sucking in pollution before you get tense, irritable and more than ready to leave or escape. By the lime 1 hit Scarborougbi 1 amn Iooking forward Io seeing the fringes of the city, as West Hill l'm starting to feel free again and by the time 1 hit the r,)lling green hilîs in Pickering 1 know 've really made it and quiet Whitby is only minutes away. Perhaps I 'should have said "greeni" Witby because, although the works departmient seemis slower replacing large trees than lbey have been at cutting thern down, Whitby still has lots of trees and 1 think AlIthe greenery 15 xvhat hielps to miake Whitby such a great place ta which to live. One area in ti,\vn wliat is certainly bare of large treeS is the West Lynde area but wve can't blamne the revelopers for ripping tbem down because West Lynde wvas nothing more than just a large bare field before it was developed ta The greenery of Whitby is more than evîdent fromn the air and biad it flot been for the uinusual designaof' the coloured slabs on nmy patio I1xvould neyer have been able ta pick out my bhouse fromn the air becauise the greenery wvas sa profuse. As nîy preferred inethod of' travel is by car 1 sec the trees more often xvhen i arn appro:cîiag Witby. On almnost al other met1kods of transportation you don't sec nearly as mnucb but 1 pre fer travelling by car for more tlian iust that reason I often travel \itli a typewiter and îhev aren't tuie igtest things in the xvorld. The rest of ny' baggage is oftent weighity as well but it niakes Iîttle difference if l'rn driving. Howvever, a maijor point ta consider wlîcn travelling by car nattier thian other waiys such as buts. rain or air is duat 1 always know rny luggage is vi th nie. i îremnember ai television sceite vi t Godfrev Camîbridge standing at the a irpo rt t aI king wi th tdie ca ptzai a of t lie pla ne he lhad just disemnbarked fronm and hlic vs saira' lt lie captain -s lic sîood thiere %\ ^itl his luoggage tickets in is. hand, -1-ovv corne YOu C1111ly tIlÎîil le up hroglthe c louds into the dead black of nighit froin C(hicago and POLI can flot onîy find Miamîi bat ]and Ilîcre ' 1ut vOLu can't find rny luggage??"

Eating while travelling is jusl as bad. 1 would rather stop at a quick food place and grab a fast hamnburger Ilian try ta dissect a steak on a teeny tiny plate on an airplane and hope that wbile the bot tea is Ibere we don't lit a down-draft. I-ave yau ever noticed Ibal if yau're in a inettîod of transportation but you can't do any driving or flying or whatever that you tend 10 gel rc 'stless quickly. On a plane or train you can go for a walk but on a bus forget it. If the lbing bias a washroaîn yau wind up "going" four or. five li mes just to get somie exercise. Who cares that your fellow passengers thiak you've got the Mexican twa-step. I baven't found waits at bus depols ta be 100 bad but train station wails and getting to and froni tlhe airport USUally mneans la nie that travelling by car, allhougb rnaybe nat quicker in terrns of biours, rnight be easier on the nerves because you're nol sitting ara im'd trying ta be patient wh 'ile awaiting a plane or train but radier you've got your hands fult driving and trying 10 niake good imie.- Anather think I distike about airparîs is they always suspect l'in going to try for Cuba or sonîetiîing and Good News ANew Mexico rancher was informed by a geolog- ical survey team that his ranch was actually located in Arizona.
