Cars

So I was driving my 53 mile drive to work this morning, and a thought came to me as it often does while I'm in drive time traffic; cars are weird. We humans have figured out how to make little self-contained hard bubbles that move fast. And it's amazing how we humans seem to be pre-disposed to make these things go without much incident. So we move around in these little bubbles at high speeds and very rarely crash. Isn't it a weird concept to think about?

I know! Or I think about the fact that it's really hard to parallel park but we can squeeze ourselves in and out of tiny car sized spaces switching lanes on the freeway with ease.

Driving is so weird and it should be so dangerous but we do it all the time.
