Driving (In)visibility

The premise of my blog is "life created daily" - or the things that make life the amazing roller-coaster journey that it is:  the fun, the bumpy-roads, and the parts that make you laugh or shake your head.


Today I drove home from work, and I found myself singing and dancing in the car like always.  I am totally one of those people you drive by and go "what the ???" because I am totally jamming out to the latest hits on KISSFM or B96.  I have a great time, and quite frankly, I could care less if someone sees me.  They probably do, but too bad.  :-)


However, today, the person driving next to me must have thought he was either invisible or, like me, didn't care.  He looked at the car ahead of me on my right, I noticed a man holding something in his mouth.  At first I thought he was just smoking, but then the object in his hand (a) didn't move and (b) was too big to be a cigarette.  Then I thought cigar or joint or something, but he never moved it and no puff of smoke billowed from his mouth.  I suddenly became incredibly intrigued.  My insatiable curiosity insisted I needed to try to understand what on earth he was doing.  


He slowed as the car ahead of him turned, so I found myself about to pass him.  Just as I thought I would be left without answers, he pulled the "thing" out of his mouth.  It tapered to what looked like a point, and then I watched him glance at it and shake it.  He was taking his temperature!  I have officially driven by someone who was taking his temperature while driving.  I laughed as I realized that is something I never would have thought I'd see.  I mean, really, how often do you see that?!  You hear about people doing some crazy shit while driving, either because they're in a hurry or because they don't think people are watching, but this is a new one to me!  Makes me wonder what other crazy shit people have seen other people doing while driving . . . or even better, what crazy shit people have done while driving that they hope no one sees!  You just may be more (in)visible than you think!
