Remember that silly game?
 
When I drive to work on the same road every day, I do this:
 
I look up in my rearview mirror and see the mountains, if they are not covered in fog.
 
I look down, and see the same spot of pavement covered over with tar from a pot hole.  When I cross it, I swerve to hit it,  just for luck.
 
When I get to work, I park and look up at the sky.  Take in the umbrellla or not?  Leave the windows up or not?
 
When I get to my work area, I do the best I can.  When I feel I can't even do that,  I look up.
 
Sometimes I see the mountains, and sometimes I see the pot hole, but I keep going.
 
That's all we can do.

    quietone:  Cute!  I have to wear safety glasses thank goodness, because I have had some near misses!  I like looking in the rear view mirror and seeing the mountains.

    Oh Wombie. You are wonderful. I don't  know this game but I do pretty much the same as you,

    You know, it isn't really a game, I realized?  More like a "joke" or "Prank."  Something like, touching someone on the chin and whatever, making them look up-then down-then look all around...  I don't even know what it is myself....!  Ha..

Today I spent a couple of time out hours in my favorite place around here, the local park. For a change, I drove up "to the top" as they call it locally. I usually just park near the entrance and stay close, like I am prone to doing.
