Wow, there I was on the road again at 6:40 a.m., driving into work during my 60 mile commute, and... nothing.
The roads were clear (thanks guys!) and the snow was gently falling, not creating any hazards. The other drivers on the road, when there were any, were for the most part courteous. Only a few kept their brights on too long. I didn't pass any accidents and there were no animals leaping in front of my wheels in an attempt to commit suicide. A rather tame ride in today for which I am very grateful.
The only danger I faced this morning was of falling asleep at the wheel. When those tail lights ahead of you start to dance around you know you're in trouble. Switch the radio stations or turn it off for a few minutes - sometimes your thoughts can entertain you better than the radio anyway. The problem there is that your inner eye can play tricks on you - you can be thinking of something else and not even see the road in front of you.
It's important to stay focused and be present. Drive the car - don't simply ride along.
