how to drive

Hundreds of thousands are driving through thick and thin traffic, weather, and car conditions! From ketchup stains on the handle of car door to dashboard dust driving is our life. Why else is the war on oil ongoing, maps entangled in highway loops and knots, and its the main topic of all news reports, and safety talks.

Behind the wheel for a handful of hours a day watching the gas gage go down and radio news volume go up will make any driver reach over to adjust heat or a/c if your car has it.  What about the car next to you with the broken window? What happened to the car behind you with the bumper or muffler dragging on the street?  How does it make you feel to see the shiny cars, washed, well maintained, and tinted windows? drug dealer? Lawyer? doctor?  Howabout the new city rules for bicycles that ride up along side of you during traffic?  And I mean the bikes without motors and radios.
off topic? forggive me.

Got your wallet? Make up? Extra shoes? Lunch pale? Seat belt? Mobile device for emergencies? Is it raining? Is it cold do you got a coat? Test the wind chill? Humidity? Did you get that call? Shit coffee spilled.  Oh no there goes a copper.  Is my seatbelt buckled? Wheres the credit card? Wheres the change for the burger I can't break a twenty?  Where did this rain come?  What is this driver doing?

Driving exhaust smells. Gas stations have a lot of candy and hotdogs. Go in get a fruit cup! Lasik ? No need for glasses. Pick up truck look in back for wonderful items.

Driving around small towns? Good luck with crammed lunch hours and stops.  Love drive thrus? Get all five food groups if you can six small meals on wheels through the day.

Who drives? Everyone with a little license. Parking lots are a world of there own as well as traffic and weather. All these driving galaxies in orbit build a universe of air pollution and bright head lights. We are the stars. Balls of gas.

Lastly, thousands are driving through thick and thin weather.. .. for better or for worse, till death do us part. Driving amongst other things is a privelege! Road signs, laws, and streets keep the pedal to the feet.
