Road Buzz

When I looked it up online it refers to riding a motorcycle. However, everyone I knew also applied this to the strange things that seem to go on in your mind after driving more than about 4 or 5 hours long distance in a car or truck.

So, often you get to your destination and you are seeing all sorts of crazy things that likely come from driving a long distance in a car or truck. But, I suppose riding a motorcycle long distance is going to change your perceptions too.

Mostly I have preferred to keep my motorcycle riding more off roads or country roads and mostly under about 3 hours of riding. This way you don't get a cramp in your throttle hand from holding on and gripping your throttle continuously. But, people create all sorts of custom contrivances to solve this problem it seems too on their own.

But, after driving 6 or 7 hours today  in my 4 wheel drive truck I have a case of what I would call Road buzz which I believe comes from staring at a dotted white line and avoiding hitting cars where drivers don't appear to be actually present in their bodies for this much of the time. You have to have enough concentration to stay alive but not so much that it gives you a headache. So, it's always a balancing act of having the right amount of attention upon the road to stay alive (and to keep everyone else alive on the road at the same time.) Not everyone is good at this sort of thing, you see. But, I find after having bicycle crashes in my youth that were painful, usually I have just the right amount of attention all the time to stay alive and to keep everyone alive on the road with me (by God's Grace).

But, this also comes at a price. Because when you get to your destination often you are going to have crazy things going on in your mind from doing that 6 or 7 hours or more in one day, especially when you are trying to fall asleep after a long days drive.

So, the next time you drive more than about 4 to 5 hours in one stretch notice just how strange what is going on in your minds while you are going to sleep is?

My thought is: Are all these thoughts actually your own or a jumble of thoughts of people you passed by in all those cars or what?

I don't usually own them because I can separate my own generic thoughts from ones that didn't originate from me. (which is likely one of the advantages of being an intuitive to begin with.)
