One time, I had decided to leave Jax for Miami at a considerably later hour than usual, and this brought me into overnight driving.
Very near Vero Beach, there is a small span of bridge, and I awoke aimed at its post.
Other near-scrapes are too numerous, and rarely from sleep deprivation causes ("That was some pretty fancy drivin' back there...") -- so I have these mental videotapes of those car ballet moments stored away for review.
This comes fairly close to describing the micro-time slices of perception, course alteration, recognition of insufficiency, and further alteration -- brake and accelerator pedal applications in succession and tandem to jank and rock the frame out of the way...
...and in those marvellous moments, the perfect unity and vast scope of perception -- divine
...and soft elation immediately afterward at having successfully executed the manoeuvres and to have lived to tell the tale.
What I could say about that night...
