Late Night on the Interstate

The other day I was traveling back from PA to south Jersey....traveling on the interstate. Late night....eyes tired. A full day and now, just me and who knows who else, but yes, us....traveling on the interstate.

Times like this makes one just drive and think..ponder and reflect at the hours that just transpired. Work..play....fun....family...kids... Now the day was done as I made my way across state-lines. Crossing over the bridge and hitting the jersey side...down the interstate. 

I made it down to exit 28 into Hammonton....turned off and started the connection to the Black Horse. Turned on to Black Horse....more time to think. Think and reflect....eyes on the road but not really, eh? Hands just on the wheel like I was riding a bike, ..one never forgets. Foot pedal down, eyes forward but tired as lights come my way. I turned off at the exit to Mays Landing and started the last of my journey to Mays Landing on the 559....

Took a curve...my bright lights came on....I edged further, that much closer to home. Sometimes we see things out of the corner of our eyes and not sure what, most of the time. A quick movement of a shadowy creature flew out from one tree to the next.... Large, silent.....it landed and melted into the tree line even as I drove by. I just drove on.....
