Muddy Roads
The roads in the village, all 3 of them, were mud.
Since the rains had started, the roads were slick clay.
Driving up the slight slope to get out of the village
felt more like skating, as the car would slide from
side to side, climbing by traversing the mud. A neat
trick learned early by village drivers.
In another month the water would be frozen. And
another kind of skill would be needed to navigate.
