The Morning Commute

[bjarvis]

I had this odd choice while zipping along the highway towards the office this morning.

Should I continue driving behind the dump truck, letting the sand, gravel & grit sand-blast away the paint of my car, or do I continue driving behind the micro sub-compact car with a box spring & mattress twice the size of the vehicle precariously tied to the top and flapping dangerously in the wind?

There wasn't much choice: there were only the two lanes and the two vehicles were driving in lock-step with each other 5 mph below the posted speed limit.

*sigh*

I ultimately chose the ant-sized car with the box spring & mattress on the theory that death would come quicker if not somewhat padded.

On the good side, the days are indeed getting longer: this is the first commute in months that I didn't have to turn on the headlights of my car the moment I left our driveway.

I always drive with mine on all the time, daytime, night time, rain, sleet, sun, snow, it don't matter. It's a safety reason for me. :-)

I noticed the sunlight today too - - miss kate and I did our morning walkies in pre-sunrise light - but enough to notice. Walking the dark has been, well. dark. I am so looking forward to the 5am to 10pm days of summer.

Do you caffeinate in the mornings or are you anti-coffee?
or do you (shudder of evil) drink a coke or something?

Yay! Sunlight!

This morning's walk was rainy but bright!

And there'll be sun this afternoon. (Sort of; there's fog right now.)
