Yeah, as forgetfull as I am now, I can see that happinging to me.
I can remember thousands of unimportant pieces of information, but
stopping to get a paper or jug of milk for the wife on the way home is
a big challenge. Sometimes I have just merged onto the 4-lane on the
way home, and think "did I really look before pulling out, or not?" I haven't
run anyone off the road yet, but thoughts like that make me sit up a
little straighter and pay more attention! If my mind is gone fishing when
I get in someone else's vehicle to drive, I have caught myself fumbling
around for minutes with my left foot looking for the clutch pedal - they
ought not make vehicles without them! :D
