About to start 2 hours drive to home after spending Christmas with the family from my wife’s side. I’m tired and full of food

    It’s people who don’t habitually drink and are partying down that cause accidents and get busted. Those people are why I stay off the roads on holidays.

    I mean, alcohol clearly throws your reflexes, no way around it, but we rarely have to make split-second moves while driving. Can’t remember the last time I had to dodge something. Worst I see is people clearly hammered or otherwise not 100% in control and I get the fuck away from them ASAP.

    And yes, about the worst I’ve scared myself was driving home from college and jerking awake, realizing I had been driving asleep. Jesus.

    14-hours on the road to get the kids tomorrow. Fuck me. Talk about dull. And then all over again in a week.
