Welcome

Xanga is dead, twitter is too short, and facebook is too shallow.

Welcome to my new blog, where for the first time in a while I am going to try and be professional. That means I am going to be posting things relevant to my hopes and dreams for a career, such as my work in photography and my comments on the automotive industry.

The name of this blog came from driving. More specifically, it came from one of the most important roads of my life. Route 50 goes from Maryland to California, and for a mile or two is the main road that passes through my hometown of Milford, Ohio. If you head west, you end up passing through Downtown Cincinnati, and if you head east you plow into a thicket of some of the best roads Ohio has to offer to the enthusiastic driver. Dry Run, Stonelick Creek and 132 to name a few.

There is an aura to 50 that mystifies me. Every time I stand on it in Milford I have to think to myself how far this piece of road goes, and how little of it I have seen. All 50 has ever done for me is take me from college to home, and vice-versa. I know where it goes, but I don't know the road.

And that is where this blog gets its name, a road. A road that I will head straight for when the snow stops and the sun shines on Ohio again.
