More mindless drival

I love driving at night when there are only truckers, serial killers, and random wildlife on the road!

Something soothing about rolling the window down, sticking your head out, the rushing cool wind roaring in your ears, the stars spread out across the sky like spilled salt, and the occasional fright of being jarred awake as the car has veered off the pavement and onto the gravel shoulder, or into oncoming traffic.

There is no sleep like the sleep you get behind the wheel while going 80 mph at 4am.

You do things to keep awake. Little games. Maybe you flick the headlights off to see if the ambient night light is enough. You scan the radio to find a song that you can sing along with in your loudest voice. You zigzag between the reflectors that separate the lanes without hitting them with your tires.

You push the cigarette lighter in at ever increasing intervals to see at which point it actually will burn your flesh.

Just fun stuff to kill time on the road.
