I've been driving a lot lately, to places like Flagstaff, Peoria & Glendale, so I've had lots of time to think & I've come to many realizations about driving & drivers. Here's what I've discovered:
.
I have really weak butt muscles. You might not think this applies to driving, but oh yes it does. After driving for a few hours I cramp up sooo badly from pushing the pedal. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but either way it's not fun.
.
There are way too many rude & impatient drivers in the world. When I'm already going 10 miles over the speed limit it is NOT ok to tail me as close as you can and flash your lights at me when there's plenty of room in the next lane to pass me. It makes driving really stressful because then I have to worry about going fast enough without speeding too much so I don't get a ticket, & if I'm on a two lane highway I have to worry about going in the right lane so they can pass but then go back to the left because the right lane is too slow, only to have some other rude person get behind me. Stupid people.
.
Driving past 10:00 at night is heaven for me. When it's late at night & there's a good song on the radio & I'm driving fast on an open freeway that winds around, it's magic. I look forward to driving home from certain places when it's late because I know I'll be able to have these moments. It makes me feel motivated & love life for some reason. Plus it makes me reflect on life. It's weird but I love it.
.
I'm kind of a distracted driver. I'm an observer & I've always enjoyed looking out at the things that we drive past during car rides, & that hasn't changed now that I'm the one driving. Tempe Marketplace at night is a car accident waiting to happen. Have you seen it from the 202?? It's like an eye magnet & I swear I'm gonna get into a fender bender from looking at it. Also, when I'm driving where all of the overpasses are I just can't help but look out over the city & the windy overpasses below me. I really don't know how I haven't had an accident yet because of this. Hmm.
.
I'm really grateful that my car gets good gas mileage. Because as it is I want to cry at how fast the little needle has been going down.
.
I don't mind driving, but I get really impatient when driving long distances. I get sick of things easily so if I'm not where I want to be in at least a half an hour then I get annoyed. Good thing I'm not a truck driver.
.
I wish I could blog while I drove because that's when I think of all of the things I want to say. Unfortunately it almost all goes away as soon as I'm done driving so you're stuck with these pointless blogs. Oh well. With technology going the way it is I'm sure I'll be able to do that pretty soon anyway!
.
That's all.
.
Goodbye.

(I've americanized my farewells so for now the adios is adios)
