SOMETIMES/OFTEN . . . KNOW/THINK

Sometimes/often I spend more time in the air than I do on land.

Sometimes/often it gives me a prespective on the world that most only experience on occassion, if at all.  Sometimes/often I spend time speaking with people I randomly run into -- all over America.  Sometimes/often they tell me things that are very personal because they know/think they'll never see me again.  They tell me about their relationships, how much in debt they are since they bought their new house, which candidates they believe in, how little they have[not] traveled around the planet, how many times they've driven to Des Moines this month, and why they love their dogs so much.

Sometimes I wish that more people had the same opportunity that I do so they would stop making assumptions about people they do not know.
