Something interesting happend on the way home. I was on the main North/South highway in Austin where there are three lanes right before the upper lower deck split. Suddenly I was surrounded by semi's. For a second, before the one on my right took the upper deck and disappeared, I was in a no mans land of trailer walls and asphalt. It was disconcerting at best. I felt like I was singled out for torment. My little tin can Kia would not have survived a quadruple jack-knife had anything gone wrong.

Interestingly enough, I was actually giggling when it happened. I have a vague sense of a Peanuts line where either Charles or Linus said "...canons to the left of us, canons to the right..." but that's all I can remember. I'll have to look that up.
