I'm aware that it's been over a month since I've posted.

I feel another epoch coming on. I think that's the word - posed on the brink of something, could go one way or the other, or just a big "thing" or decision coming up? Normally I'd research the definition, but I'm researched out.

Every so often I mentally add another item to my entirely mental list of things I learned this summer, and then I mentally forget them. Here's what I can remember:

1. Honesty isn't always the best policy. Think carefully before you decide to lightly tell someone a heavy truth.

2. Always signal your turns.

3. There is no way to eliminate the blind spot.

4. A hands-free set does not make driving while on a cell phone any less distracting - but it does make turning and drinking coffee easier.

5. Go to bed early.

6. You really are just a number to them. Corollory - you are your best, most dependable advocate.

7. NEVER DRIVE EXHAUSTED.

8. No matter how hard you look at it, the dust won't go away on its own.


More later.
