My SUV is trail-rated

It's a really good thing my Jeep Grand Cherokee is trail-rated. I was driving home from work last night and as part of that route I'll sometimes go down a road that's not completed yet, and turn off of it at the last second. Well, last night I left work after dark and was really zonked. I was going down that road, lost in thought, and noticed "gee, the road's awful dark ahead!" and turned on my brights. The next second, I went airborne and flew right off the pavement onto the dirt where they're extending the road! Needless to say I bounced a lot and practically stood on my brakes until I stopped.

Now, what makes me realize that I was way too tired was this didn't rattle me in the slightest. I just turned around and drove back to the road. I did stop and re-right the carpet shampooer in the backseat that toppled, but that's about it. After that, I made Matthew drive us when we ran out for a quick bite and groceries, since I figured at that point I was a danger to myself and others.

So, that was my adventure last night!
