Thoughts on Driving

Here are some things that I've learned to like about driving my motorcycle here...

(I should probably make the disclaimer that if you're my mom, you should probably stop reading here.)

• I can pass other cars and motorcycles pretty much whenever I want because frankly, I'm small and don't need that much space to pass, even if there's another vehicle coming.
• There are no lanes, which means, I'm not confined in any way to any space. I can move freely where I want to. Some people take that to mean they can drive on the wrong side of the road; I haven't gotten that brave yet.
• When I come to an intersection, all I have to do is be the first one to honk as I approach, and then I don't even have to slow down because everyone else stops for me!
• I depend on everyone else honking to tell me where they are in relation to me. I've found that when someone doesn't honk to let me know where they are, I get kinda upset!
• I can park pretty much wherever I want.
• I have natural air conditioning (okay, most of the time the air isn't THAT cool, but it's air, right?).
• My supervisor's wife (aka adopted mom, mentor, friend) describes driving here like a school of fish. You just all move together. If you don't, well....just move together; it's better that way.

And there are some of my thoughts on driving. There are a whole lot more, but that's all that's coming to mind at this moment in time. Mom, if you made it to the end of this blog, you should probably go take some aspirin and read Phil 4:6-7 and just think of all of this as more 4wheeling stories that Dad and I choose not to share ;)
