Occasionally if something serious is on my mind it will produce the same results, but usually it's because I'm WAY too tired to be driving.

Were you tired?

yeah i was butt ass tired. dozing off... then snapping back up. right after u snap up... this thought crosses my mind "OH SH!T... gotta stay awake. just keep ur eyes open... it's not so hard, right?" now at the instant... i'm all bug eyed. then like five seconds later, they being to close. this process repeats itself like a hundred times until i get home and think "how the fork did i get here?!". and yeah... as someone else mentioned, the blasting the radio (or cranking open a window trick) does not work :eek:

Yeah.. that's the dynamics of memory. Computer memory works in the same way.
