just when you relax and think it's all smooth sailing the weather can change and a shit storm come pummelling down accompanied by the cruel laughter of some twisted sadistic god. well fortunately that's not my god.
here i am driving again, satisfying my need for velocity, you know i love the fact i have a highway to rocket down, it's where i can legally speed and when i'm off the highway i revert to a healthy safe regime following all the rules like a really good citizen. 
its worked out quite well. all i needed was a highway.
however in weather like this morning driving becomes something else, focusing concentration, breathing exercises, mental agility, pattern recognition, adaptability and some heightened psychic ability.
and lady luck because in conditions like fog and heavy rain, patches of sun and the occasional wash of water as a truck shoots by, luck is what gets you home. 

i have some time off, i'm going to get my bicycle on the road and give the car a break.
