Fabulous psychic powers

    I've had a running gag for years now about my fabulous psychic powers and what they reveal. Mainly, the gag is that the answer is "Not much." However, now and again, my fabulous psychic powers actually operate. More likely of course my other senses are just extra acute, but it's more fun to call them fabulous psychic powers. Regardless, when driving, when I reach a corner I nearly always know whether or not a car is going to be there. Could be psychic, could be really good hearing, could be self-reporting bias. I don't know, but it's cool.
    The fabulous psychic power I like the best clearly has nothing to do with psychic powers. That is eyes in the back of the head. Again when driving, sometimes (but very rarely) I know where everyone on the road is, even the ones in my blind spot. It's just a matter of looking around a lot, keeping abreast of the mirrors, and remembering everything. A trick of awareness rather than any psychic power. But it FEELS like a fabulous psychic power!
    As to fabulous psychic powers regarding communication or understanding of any other human being? Nah. I'd probably need to get out more.:)
