Mt Tam I am's Driving Journal

Sooo, my daily commute began somewhat benign although it is always a thrill to get in the Z. Down the lane, across some county roads and down the five miles where I see so many deer and raccoon. Hmmm, haven’t seen any for awhile, not while in the Z anyway. I wonder if they hear the Z and skidaddle? Jeez, have to remember to put it back in gear after I have taken it out. Sigh. Idjit. There we go. Up and around several bends, pop open the Amp. Hey motorcycle guy! You gonna go fast enough for me? I’m running a little late. I guess not, zee ya. Thank you for slowing so I can get past!! What a guy! Zip through sleepy little town. WHAT is that car doing. Gawd. Yepp. He’s going to do it. WTF? You saw me coming…sigh. OK, you leave me no choice zig zag and I’m gone, see you too! Traffic is picking up. Wait on three cars on the four lane and I am out and shifting gears. Gawd I love the torque…woo hoo! Better slow it down sister or you will be really late! Sigh. It’s going to be a beautiful day. Cannot wait till the end of the day when I get to do it all in reverse!

SWEET. I love it when they let you past. The other best part is that you can not wait till you get to do it in reverse. I like the presentation of your story. So many things happening so quickly reminds me how much goes through ones mind driving.

This is living if you ask me. Finding contentedness where you are.

I would be careful in reverse. You've got a long route and your vision out of the back of the Z is pretty limited

I have told myself for days be good, and do not pass at that one spot anymore.

I was stuck behind a slowpoke and was quite mature thinking this doesn't bother me at all. After two minutes of saying to myself "be good", "this does not effect me" mantra, I snapped.

It was seamless in it's appearance. I came round a turn, looked down the road, it was empty, and as the car ahead went slightly right following the road, I rolled on the gas and went very slightly left, and was past the hybrid.

I now had a road that was empty. I had a blast all the way home.

Moral of the story. Don't be mature. Hey wait! I need to work on me.
