Self-Realization is Painful

Daily Video 12/15/25

Bruce Springsteen sang, “I’m driving in my car…”

Well, me too.

On I80, in Iowa.

I80: You’ve seen us on the news, and TikTok lately, because people don’t know how to drive in snow!

(Tip: SLOW DOWN, DUMMIES!)

Anyway, on this fine day, the roads were clear and I may or may not have been traveling at a rate of 80 miles per hour.

(Depends on who’s asking. The police? I was doing a lovely 70, just like the speed limit suggests. What? That’s not a suggestion? Well, that’s why I was maintaining that speed, then!)

Anyway, if you happen to be doing a casual 10 miles per hour over the speed limit (not that I was), and a car (or minivan) passes you like you’re standing still, you take a glance and see who the lead foot is.

And, well…

Sometimes that’ll put you in your place.
