Blind Spot Mirrors help assess the risk, especially when they suggest the brief, cautionary advice that what seems far is really close. Distraction works up to a point. For example, as the business associate with whom you share corporate secrets leans forward to check her lips, then, easing back, adjusts her skirt that slipped up in response to your comment that she cinch down her seat belt; throughout all this there are some things that you can do. Observe the mileage. Release the brake, and while you are at it, think to make certain you did not forget the all important proposal. And yet, I should confess, none of this really helps prepare you for the acceleration of intimacy synonymous with automobile travel. The mesh of traffic. The freeway rhythm. The breath exchange that accompanies conversation about the repression of commerce in third world nations, not to mention the slight separation between the second and third button. RMW |

Your observation remains intact, as does your penchant for penning what is not always obvious... Well done! |

always wondered what the guy was thinking when he was trying not to...hehehehehe Well done! A different one from you, and yet, not so very. Ah, I know, it has a 'Papa' flavor.  Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Bob, you have told all our secrets. We have to maintain SOME semblance of inscrutability in certain areas  You forgot about adjusting the field scarf |

Adjusting the field scarf. I love that. Like Snoopy says, every soldier should, at least once in his life, kiss a nurse. Bob |

I love driving, such exhileration on the open road, such freedom, such speed. I've never had a passenger like yours....though...maybe I've been that passenger!!!!  If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Wonderfully done...I especially enjoy the reality of the flip between topic and true thought. I love it when males open their thoughts to us. Sincerely, Regina It's all in the mind |
