The trick is to keep the destination in your subconscious, @Traeger T. The distraction of the exercise is meant to make you forget the intended target of the drive and arrive at the location your heart's desire. Maybe you just really like the Tri-cities?

You bet I did, @Oil Stain Mark. The fairground is still up ahead a little, but still in sight if you know how to look. When the old man's station wagon breaks light speed, it leaves eddies forever.

These are things I learned from Psychic Driver Ed.

The moon is growing again so it's time for Psychic Driver Ed's NIGHT DRIVING class.

No headlights. No hands. On the logging roads high up in the forest lands northwest of campus. The advanced class is all in reverse.

Here for Psychic Driver Ed.

Have you met him? His summer session is awesome.

I went practice driving today out at the big empty parking lots in the industrial zone north of town. I was practicing not using my hands.

Out there on the weekends there are many members of the psychic car enthusiast communit. It's a lot more low key than a psychic street takeover, but still pretty fun to watch. Mostly spinning but other hot rodding too. All no-hands stuff.

I can still smell the burning rubber. It's stuck in my nose.

I got stuck at the traffic signal. I was sitting right there and it was my turn to change and it passed me over. Then it went through another cycle and passed me over again. And again.

That's why my car says Student Driver.
