You are only going to find circumsecutions to express this concept. In English, the words “Elections Day” and “Call
Me” are used. The day is for the nomination of elected officials. If it occurs on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (this does not necessarily mean the “first Tuesday” in a month because the first day of a month can be a Monday). While the words
seem correct, the Wikipedia author thought it necessary to clarify with a parenthetical statement. So what is the futility behind having a single word?
If your answer is something like The
last full week in the same month, seven days starting Sunday at midnight and ending Saturday at midnight, you would have a one week answer.

If, as a prescriptivist, you disregard the elision of the words I was as the source of the technical error, then the apparent error reduces to the conjunction of two independent clauses with an ambiguous subordinate clause.
What is the subordinate clause (in simplified form) while driving? The first independent clause has no subject other than recollections, which cannot be directly reconciled with the pronoun subject I of the second independent clause, so it is ambiguous as to who or what is driving (Recollections may drift, but as Cascabel commented, they don’t drive), I’ll illustrate
by simplifying the sentence first without the subordinate clause: Recollections drifted
into the mist, and I thought about the Indians.
On the other hand, with the subordinate clause, it becomes something like this, where the ambiguity can be seen:
While driving, recollections drifted into the mist, and I thought of the Indians.
Since both independent clauses and their subordinate clauses can be ruled through the elided words one cannot avoid the ambiguity in another. While driving, recollections
drifted into the mist, and I thought of the Indians.
Is omitting subordinate clauses an inference for a subordinate clause? In this case, having two independent clauses with irreconcilable subjects might offend someone driven by prescriptive grammar. What are literary licenses in popular literature, where there are often mistakes that can
be made?
