It would take a very skilled driver to handle that asymmetrical change in terrain at speed. It looked like the rear right lost contact first, then both lefts on the correction.

The driving, my god, the driving. I used to joke with a guy like ten years older about the "drunk driving jihad" spoilsports. This one time in Boulder in like '92, ahh nevermind. We were too drunk to call a cab, so we drove home.

For me writing is similar to material work in that ideas are put in relative positions, and sometimes the language will not support the structure I have in mind which means something has got to be reshaped or restructured which in turn informs the next ideas.
