This is an acknowledgement of my own dangerous driving.  Today was a blissfully traffic-free day. So la-la-la I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m driving to work.

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like I just tune out while I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m behind the wheel, and I start daydreaming about anything from my plot to take over the world [doh! I said <i>plot<\/i> even though I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve already admitted I have no plot!] to what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to have for dinner to wondering if I really like this new shade of hair color I picked out (it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more dark brown, with not many hints of red. Nothing drastic, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still not convinced yet).  When I realize that I have no idea how I got to wherever it is I am, I immediately wake up and pay attention to the road.  Until the next thought enters my mind\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the safest way to drive, and if I weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t so lazy, I should probably just take public transportation.
