One beautiful autumn day, Cousin Norman and his wife Alma were joy riding along the interstate with plans to have a picnic at the state park.  Joy riding means that Alma does all the driving so that Norman can enjoy the scenery or take a little snooze. A picnic at the state park means that Alma packs a large basket of sandwiches, chips and cookies, a large cooler of soft drinks, and an enormous blanket for Norman to rest on under a shade tree and watch the world go by.
