Mrs. Q has purchased a lovely black Honda Civic. Excellent say all at Q manor who love to drive.Most people prefer the radio on or something to distract them when they drive. At night, I prefer silence, so that the car replaces my consciousness, with the future becoming the arrival of distant headlights and the past is the black in the rear view mirror with the sight of lights fading away. Between the two horizons of future and past, the present is replaced with eyes and ears focused on the road and that purring engine, achieving a mystic like state.
When the drive ends and you get out of the car, suddenly past and future disappear into an expansive present , open and less predictable.
Is there anyone else out there thinking about their conscious states and would fancy sharing a night drive? Probably Kate Bush, if she could pull herself away from the monotony of an English country castle and garden life, with all of it's tiresome charm and repose. It's the least she could share with me for all of my purchases and support over the years. Shouldn't we be friends by now?

i hear kate read your blog and will pay off the honda for you.
night driving. nope. poor vision and a tendancy to get lost. do my best not to get behind the wheel in the eve. however, i did enjoy you sharing your experience and am envious you can pull it off.
the pic? niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice !!!
Do you get lost at night on the island? You wouldn't want to step on any lego people. Kate got thrown in unexpectedly at the end. It could also have been Joni or Tori, Sheryl or Sarah, so many great female song writers I've gotten to know like friends over the years. Tori Amos would definately be up for a late night ride. Anyway, this years civic is sweet, especially black with tinted windows.
ok, i can't say i get lost night driving on the island, and to date i haven't seen any of alison's lego people (i think she might be lying).
my hubby just got a civic too. a two door, very sporty looking....i haven't been in it yet (i don't know, after a while a new or new-to-you car looses it's excitement). he loves it, says it gets 50mpg.
i stick to my '94 ford diesel pickup....let it lumber on it's own and don't use much fuel. i've never had a new car but never wanted one. i can see their benefits.....but, they don't interest me. ah well.
