I am normally a very patient and low stress kind of guy, until I get on the road and into traffic. Don’t get me wrong I am not an aggressive driver to the extent of riding people’s bumpers and flashing my headlights or following people home, but other drivers who do not follow the simply complex (lol) rules of the road get me a little heated. I tell people that the only time they’ll hear me curse is when I’m driving. I notice that I take a lot ore risk with driving in city traffic and I want to do this as one of my 43 things because I realized that I shouldn’t be taking that risk with other people’s lives let alone my own. I am reading a book, 865 Buddhist Ways to Conquer Life’s Little Challenges , and it has given me quite a bit of information to help tackle this task. It will take some time though because I’ve been in this bad habit for too long. Wish me luck.

How I did it: My sister and I drove from Seattle Washington to California on our way home to Oklahoma. We stopped in San Francisco, saw the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and a few other things. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A couple of my friends and I researched items we'd like to have tattoed on our bodies. I mean....they're pretty permanent although you can get them lasered off, but I digress...we found a few primaries and then a few secondary things we'd get tattoed just in case we were turned down on some things (which I was turned down on my primary tattoo idea because it was too time consuming for the tattoo artist). We looked online for local tattoo … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Drove more than 2000 miles to Washington and drove right up to the water, took my socks off and stood in the ocean with the wasteland of empty crab shells, kelp, and driftwood. Read how I did it…
