head in the clouds

I can usually tell when I'm getting a little too zoned out or lost in my thoughts while driving. As the owner an operator of a manual vehicle who often drives other cars, I somtimes forget what kind of car I'm driving and get confused. This results in stomping desperately around for the clutch, even hitting the gas in leiu of a clutch, hitting the gas and break at the same time, forgetting to put the car in park, or stalling out because I forget I need to put the clutch in. None of this really happens very often, but I must have been particularly lost in thought tonight, because I had three such occurences just driving to church and back. I'm thinking about getting stickers that say "Manual" or "Automatic" and putting them at the bottom of the windshield of each of the cars as a little reminder. Or maybe just one that says "Wake Up."
