Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I just spent almost two hours talking to a friend who lives a couple of states away. Yesterday I talked to a friend on the east coast for just as long. I feel much better after we talk. This morning my husband and I took out our new car of one week for a drive. We saw a lot of fall folliage and discovered some more things about the car, such as not knowing how to set up the phone in sync and that my husband needs to adjust his seat to be more comfortable. We were, as they say, all dressed up with nowhere to go. We put 50 more miles onto the car that had only 18 miles before. We don't really need a car right now, except that our other car we took to the cabin was 25 years old, and we did not want to put more money into it to sell it, and we need something reliable in the mountains. And now, if we ever need a quick getaway, we're set. I'm thinking fire, earthquake or other catastrophes. While driving we noticed a license plate that said SNOWS, and I told my husband I realized I must have a criminal mind, because I would not want such an easily remembered plate. I prefer annonymity. What would I be escaping from? Maybe this covid prison we're all in.
