I have lived in this town for most of my life.
I am a creature of habit.
If you don’t know which way I am going by now then you aren’t from around these parts.
This sounds exactly like something my mom said before the keys in her car mysteriously disappeared for the final time the day after she turned 90.
She lived in northwestern Missouri and her long driveway led right onto a very, very busy highway with lots of truck traffic barreling along at 60-70 mph. She would always back down her driveway and onto the highway without stopping, looking or missing a beat.
Expressed my extreme concern about it more than once and she would always respond, “Everybody around here knows my car and it used to belong to the minister so nothing bad will ever happen”.
She’s no longer with us but nothing ever did happen to her in that car or to anyone else as a result of her driving habits!
