In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Yes, most of them! When I was 13, a driver fell asleep coming the other way on a two-lane highway and ran into us, luckily my cop stepdad was driving and we were in a Volvo. A few years ago a semi sideswiped me (he shouldn't have been driving out the narrow main entrance of my college, should have been using one of the back entrances, and he didn't, it turned out, quite fit).

Well, I commute by train, and I actually do rather enjoy it. And I would love to take a longish trip on a train. Sleeping, dining, etc. That would be cool.
