Drive to lead, drive to be

Yesterday's commute was a sloppy one. Rain, wind, cold. You really have to be paying attention while hustling down the highway. Any dope can drive well when the sun is out, but can you drive well in the slop? Ah, that is the key. You have to pick your way carefully through the traffic, knowing that visibility is awful, speeds are slow, and it takes longer to brake. Two steps ahead, that's where you need to be, like the great chessmasters.

You earn your bones in the rain, making the sunshine sweeter and warmer.
