Summer is officially over in Seattle. Sunny days melt into rain, rain, rain for the rest of the year. A side effect of this is an increased propensity for my friends and I to slide our cars around in empty parking lots. Yes, such behavior serves no purpose other than our own enjoyment, but the smile plastered across my face all last night says its worth it. Sliding around in a rear-wheel-drive car is all about the need for control. Its taking something that normally ends in tears, broken car parts and possibly broken bones and beating it into submission with subtlety and finesse. Its taking control of the uncontrollable. Its when a falling dream, suddenly becomes a flying dream. Its awesome and I want to do it again and again and again.
