A car whipped past$$$ the driver eating and a passenger clicking a camera. Moving without going anywhere$$$ taking a trip instead of making one. I laughed at the absurdity of the photographs and then realized I$$$ too$$$ was rolling effortlessly along$$$ turning the windshield into a movie screen in which I$$$ the viewer$$$ did the moving while the subject held still. That was the temptation of the American highway$$$ of the American vacation (from the Latin vacare$$$ "to be empty").
