But then, I stopped even thinking about it and just picked one at random - and it still worked! After that I got spooked - and quit.

She just believed she would - and she did. She suggested I try it - and I kid you not - it worked! But I have to believe ( really believe not pretend) that I will find a space from the moment I get in the car in the driveway. Any wavering and I will be searching forever.

Mrs. MZM's goal: "In the front and in the shade!" is like the holy grail of parking. And don't worry 'bout the flub. It hoppens to everboody now and thin! :-0 Ah, now parking spots are worth their weight in gold! Mrs. MZM’s goal: “In the front and in the shade!” is like the holy grail of parking.

It's late. That should be "You're fumbling" not your. I hate when people don't use the right word. Oops, forgot to proofread. It’s late. That should be “You’re fumbling” not your.

Your fumbling along in life and then it seems that everything seems to be working out. As it relates to cars though, I can hit every single red light, even the ones NO ONE hits. It's almost a running joke with my family. But I can get some darn good parking spots! :) I find it happens to me often.

Hmmm... I'll have to think about that one - but you may be right. You have to be ready to adjust at a moment's notice. Not bad, Mike! ;-) @ Amy - Maybe, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about when you have absolutely no control over anything - but it mysteriously falls into place anyway! <i>That's</i> what's weird! @ Mike - “Life is one big merging traffic lane…” Hmmm… I’ll have to think about that one - but you may be right.

I find that when I'm on the right track, the right books, the right teachers, the right contacts, the right opportunities all fall into place at the right time. It's a good feeling, isn't it, Robert!

Driving across three lanes of traffic should scare anyone---but Being a man I can identify with gathering just enough peripheral vision of traffic to maneuver my car across 3 lanes to my target. In traffic if you stop and ponder your choices—you crash Life is one big merging traffic lane---and if some decisions have to be automatic.

It made my day. I had the same commute for about 15 years. It took me through about 20 stop lights. One time and one time only I made every single green light. It took days for the thrill to subside.

Second, OMG I'd be going nuts. Course I'm the type that hubby has to pry my hands off the door before he is driving. He too darts across and I'm always waiting for that one driver. UGh. lol. But I agree it is irritating as it would take me all day to get across. Oh and my son is the elevator guesser, he gets it right all the time. Not sure how he does it.
