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?

To paraphrase Deshimaru, I devote myself wholly to driving as if a fire were raging in what's left of my hair. After a nearly fatal accident and the deaths of several close friends in wrecks I take nothing for granted when I get behind the wheel.
