When heavy winds blew over the pass, I drifted out of my lane. My tires whined and shimmied over the roadside markers.
I gripped the wheel a little tighter, re-entered my lane, and let up on the gas.
A second gust pushed me sideways. My dashboard flashed yellow. Please Take a Rest, the warning light read, with a coffee cup icon for extra emphasis.
I arrived safely, don’t you worry! But I’m just now thinking: Wouldn’t it be nice if our touch-screens suggested a timeout if/when we swerve out of bounds on social media?
YES!! Great idea. My brain tells me to do just that. But it takes awhile for me to respond
