When I have a long-distance drive ahead of me, I like doing it overnight.
The highways are less crowded; you can move a little quicker… The sun isn’t beating down on you, or your dashboard (which is especially nice in summer)…
It’s just more pleasant.
Unless, of course, you’re in the middle of a blizzard.
Which, actually, I don’t think I was.
The precipitation was light on January 6, 2024, but the wind? Oh, that was something else.
I’ve seen my fair share of accidents over the past twenty years; I’ve seen more than a handful of deaths, as well. Cars so mangled you know no one walked away from it.
When you’re alone in your car, with nothing but the thoughts inside your noggin to keep you company, seeing death makes you reflect on life.
Who you are, how you treat others, how you can be a better person.
You like to pretend that everyone would respond to death in a similar fashion, but man…
Sometimes you are brutally reminded that self-reflection is a trait many people do not have.
There are moments I wonder what goes through their head, and then I see certain comments peppered in the section below articles, videos, or posts online. That’s when I remember, “Oh, right. Those are the people who don’t have introspection, intelligence, or kindness in them.”
What an interesting way to go through life.
Of course, as Annie Savoy explained, “The world is made for people who aren’t cursed with self awareness.”
Must be nice.

A car blew by me during a severe snow storm. A mile later he was backwards in the center lane. No one stopped to let him turn around. Idiot.
I bet u encountered that pesky hard to find curvature of the earth on your journey. U know the one that engineers have to take into account when laying railroad tracks and building the world's longest bridges.
How did you only take two extra hours, you must got radar and sonar plus heat vision lol it would of took me 12 with hours or until that ish stopped with only 10 ft of visibility
Finally, a youtube channel that evangelical octogenarians can enjoy without fear of anything too exciting happening
😂 its nothing new cut through the hoochiemen trail if ya know ya know be safe out there!
I just quit a job that I had to drive an hour too just south of the SD state line because of how bad the weather gets and all the dangerous drivers on the road.
So did you finally get snow tires?
Glad you made it safe!
I wise person checks the Weather Channel before driving for seven hours.
As a veteran police officer…
I hated pleading to help ignorance…
…but "delusionals" were the worst..
I saw in a documentary that 1-3% of people are socio-destructive and that 15% aren't overall capable of socio-positive outcomes (by mental/learned capacity).
It accounts for things like criminals, and the unemployed.
The bucket is always within kicking distance, so chip away at that list while you can.
I tend to learn from other's mistakes. It doesn't help with the dating situation, I'll tell you that much. I see more red flags than a Chinese parade.
Life is a balance of risk and reward. The problem is. For some, risk is the reward 🤷🏼♂️
