cvodrey It's hypnosis, and you don't have to be tired for it to happen. If you have a lot on your mind while you are driving, you will space out and forget the drive. It's very common and very normal. Once when I had two jobs and was stressed, I would leave home and...

cvodrey I think it would be awesome to be able to live in different parts of the world as an older person! It really would be a dream for me. I envision my old years as a nomad traveling in an RV and writing for dollars. I think it would be great.
