When your mind is preoccupied, you don’t see a big red car!


And when you back out your Tesla Model S with your mind preoccupied and don’t see the big red Honda CR-V, you bump into it. It may be a very slow speed impact, but the ding in the Model S tail gate has the potential to give you grief.

Well, that’s what happened to me this morning. To my mind (damn you, limbic system), the red car wasn't even there… it was parked in the car port and not in the driveway.

I have resolved to not let this small bump turn my life upside down. I’m not going to sulk and be irritable; I’m not going to feel miserable by reliving the incident over and over, thinking, “if only…” 

In the larger scheme of things, it doesn't matter.


The ding can stay until I choose to fix it; it’s only a car!


Apollo – sorry I kept you off the Model S until now. You are welcome to take rides in it from now on. What was I thinking…. It’s only a car!
