Or the other way to look at it is what IF an 'out of control' car came at you?
at least they care.
Well...if you're hinting at alcohol...no chance. There was none of that and I like to be in control of my actions.

If you're not hinting toward that....fine. Figured I'd kill a stereotype before it becomes an issue. I had a really really bright flashlight and the night was so quiet I could hear my friend's Mustang coming several miles away. Cars are no issue for me.

It's a pretty neat experience when you go out at night, get a mile or so off shore, and you know you're the only person around and can just look up at the stars (or snow, or the city lights you left behind) and enjoy the quiet for a bit.
Sounds nice and quiet. My absolute favorite thing about Winter is how quiet things are.

The one thing that makes a snowy forest better is a full moon.

Some people still think I'm weird and/or have a deathwish by doing that, but it's really cool just unplugging for a bit and wandering off somewhere that you can be out of earshot of everything and have a bit of one-on-one time with the world Something about it being freezing cold is also sort of therapeutic.
I really like the cold weather...and that whole "unplugging" thing is great.

I go all day, every day, nearly all year round. Especially right now. School, homework, sports, other various things....

I'd go out for a walk now (22:46) but I've got some math work to do....teachers...I swear.
