   Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking a train to Toronto for the first time. I've been on trains before, but not quite like this. The subway to NY, a small train in VA, but this was a 5 hour ride starting bright and early in the am. It was actually quite smooth and made travel much more simple for the trip. Certainly better than driving down and more efficient. 

   The trip was actually to go pick up a car. This is why the train was absolutely a better option than taking our current vehicle down. Would have been silly and high in gas to drive one down and bring two back up. Also it really helps to have a co-pilot on a long ride, for both navigation and company. :) 

   We picked up a manual 6-speed 2012 camaro. Its been about 2 years since I had my old 01 camaro back when I lived in Jersey, so it was really refreshing to be back in one again. It had been 2 years since I drove a manual car too, so that was an adventure. It was so worth it.. I don't know what it is about manual sports cars, but if you ever wanna feel like flying, try it out.

   Driving is my outlet, its my freedom. I can feel so much like myself in my car. My whole phantom body tends to envelope it when I drive and I can feel my wings at its sides stretching and enjoying the speed. A 6 hour drive home like this was heaven. I felt alive. Maybe its not the same ffor every dragonkin, but for me, this really lifts me up when having to be human here and now.
