Driving today

I've started earmarking some entries as my "driving log", so I'll make an entry about today. First time driving in about two weeks unless you count driving Kevin's car around Edgewood. Eli went with me. I drove to Tokyo Food Store, but it was closed. Then I went from there to Squirrel Hill - I took Ellsworth to Morewood to Forbes to Beechwood to all over the place. We went through Schenley a bit too. It was raining for about 2/3 of the time I was driving, but I managed pretty well with it. I have to get better at looking behind me quickly and not losing control of the car. At the very end there was a bad moment where I was pretty sure I could switch lanes and did but Eli got really freaked out because I didn't look behind me before doing it. (I'd been keeping track of the cars on the road, so I knew nobody was there). I should know better in the future and look back. I sort of parallel parked at the end. Well, I pulled up to an empty section of curb and worked the car back and forth until it was next to the curb.

What I worry about is for example somebody could theoretically have come south on Melwood and turned left into the lane to the left of us, staying out of view of your mirrors. Incautious driving on their part, but...
