things you don’t notice when you are the driver

I am a better driver than a passenger

Correcting your spouse’s driving errors is a sure way to start an argument

People drive too close to the car in front, especially in the rain

Does a red traffic light mean stop your vehicle and pick your nose?

So sad to see trash at the side of almost every road

Most male drivers on the eastern shore are in a pickup truck

Royal Farm gas stations are taking over the world

Windshield wipers are hypnotic

Uncut grass looks untidy and neglected

I wonder if anybody ever uses the mile markers

Truck drivers give the appearance of being incredibly bored

Most big cars have a single occupant

This land is so flat, it must be depressing for mountain bikers

Who wakes up one day thinking I am starting a pet cemetery

Young woman driving with Vietnam Veteran sticker on back window?

Orange colored cars look stupid

Cell towers look menacing

Why do farmers irrigate fields when its raining?

Road trip

Road trips are so much fun

A change of scenery for a while

See some new places

Visit old friends

Make some new ones

Check out the countryside

See how others live

Take a different road

Make a wrong turning

Get lost

Blame GPS

Blame your spouse

Spouse blames you

Fight over directions

Cannot find a bathroom

Bladder pain excruciating 

Dingy gas station

Filthy bathroom

No choice

Instant relief

No washing facilities

Empty bottle of hand sanitizer

Time to eat lunch

Nowhere nice to picnic

Eat in the car

Spill drinks everywhere

Open case for change of clothes

Not PBJ sandwiches again

Drop sandwich between seats

Start of another science experiment

Rolling again

Bored with Sirius radio

Books on tape playing

Depressing book

All doom gloom and suffering

Tune to a local radio station

Music is very cheesy

DJ spouts conspiracy theories

We must be in a bad place

People look so strange here

All driving pickups

Probably all armed militia

Our Lexus looks out of place

We could be murdered

No stopping

Drive faster

No eye contact with other drivers

Who decided on this road trip

Never again
