In Texas we have a large number of animals that desire to become roadkill. They especially love cloudy nights or foggy low spots. In the daytime, they love to come bouncing out of bushes besides the road and the inevitable eventually happens. As I cruise in Hill country, I find that I have to make a decision on which is the better course.
On one side, I want to set the cruise control. That means that I don’t have to keep looking down at the speedometer to see how fast I’m going, and I can concentrate more on the road. However, that means that there is that moment when I am still accelerating before I can get my foot over to the break. On the other side, there is greater control when I’m not using the cruise control however, the animals love to take that moment when you’re checking your speedometer to come and stop right in front of you. It’s a trade-off.
Life is full of very difficult decisions.
