Yesterday night the weirdest thing happened to me; I ran out of brain.  It was getting late, I was driving on the freeway, and I ran out of gas.  Just ... ran out.  I had previously noticed I was running low, my gas gauge was working, the little warning light came on and so on, but somehow my brain ignored all that and the laws of physics took over.  If you drive long enough without putting gas in your car, it will come to a spluttering stop.  I was on I-5 at the time, going about 80, with traffic everywhere, so pulling onto the shoulder was an adventure.  Once there I called AAA and 45 rather nerve-wracking minutes later a nice tow truck driver saved me.  It was bad but it could have been worse.

Just shows, I am overloading my brain.  Too many things competing for cycles and really basic stuff gets pushed out.  I need to kill some threads, and focus.  Time to go out to dinner, have a nice glass bottle of wine, and get some perspective.  Fortunately I am riding a century tomorrow - the Wildflower Ride, up in Paso Robles - and that will be good think time; three hours driving there, six hours riding, and three hours driving back.  With great music playing all through.  I have to get some of my brain back.
