I could not stop thinking about Albert Brooks and Dan Aykroyd in the opening of the Twilight Zone movie. Brooks turns off the headlights...Aykroyd gets nervous... "There may be nuns ahead," jokes Brooks. We all know how it turns out. (Better than a Motel 6) ... You wanna see something really scary? Nice, evocative piece here.
I think my most mystical night drive happened somewhere in the Arizona desert, about 20 years ago. Nothing but me, the stars, and the impressive natural formations through which the road passed through. It was ... very special.
I kept hearing Tom Waits "Diamonds on My Windshield" in my mind as I read your essay.....particularly his line ......"and the radio's gone off the air, and it gives you time to think"

Thanks, Anthony. There's something about night driving that shifts me into another zone. Something about night driving...

High praise, Tabby! Thank you. Hopper is a favorite.
