People who speed up when you put on your blinker to change lanes. What IS that all about? Get a life people! Cars change lanes. It's a fact of life. Did you know that life changes lanes on you, too, sometimes? Yeah, it does. Deal with it. There will always be reasons to be polite and yield. Use traffic as a life metaphor for pete's sake: be nice, you'll live longer!

Car conversations. What is it about having a conversation in a car? Maybe it's the lack of eye contact, maybe it's the noise of the wind, maybe it's the spirit of ongoing movement. Whatever it is, it's amazing how you can have really great conversations with your passengers while driving. You can have THE talk and well, it's just easier. You can have a tender talk, and then they can't see'ya cry, or you can simply have an animated talk and use the steering wheel as a sounding board. Whatever you do, it's just a good way to exclaim . . . without being overwhelmed. Love those car conversations!
