3 Nuggets from the Road

My mind wanders while I drive. I usually share my thoughts with whoever is in the car with me. Sometimes it is worthwhile, sometimes humorous, sometimes goofy, and sometimes just stupid.

I had three nuggets of thought on the drive home tonight that I shared with Jenny, and will now share with you.

The term "wreckless driving" seems to be a bad one to me. I though we were supposed to aim to drive "wreckLESSly." Why can't they call it dangerous or wreckworthy driving.

Second was a quote that I heard this week but I can't remember where from. It relates to identity. "I'm rarely who I think I am, I'm rarely who you think I am, but I'm usually who I think that you think I am."

Third relates to Presidency. When did the rules for Presidency (35 years old, born a U.S. citizen etc...) come into existence? How many Presidents didn't hold up to it? I'm sure George Washington wasn't born a U.S. citizen, so if he helped make these rules, they seem hypocritical. They wouldn't have been able to have a new president for 35 years after the country was established.

These are the kinds of things I think about while I'm driving.
