Appreciating Windshield Wipers

It's weather days like today when I believe that windshield wipers can lack the appreciation which they deserve. Gushing winds, plenty of precipitation, driving on highways where driving behind merely one vehicle ensures a constantly covered windshield from kickback & the constant need to tap the knob for windshield washer fluid... The task of the windshield wipers becomes rather impressive & important.

Then there are those days when there's a little something clinging to the top of the wipers...Tap the knob for more fluid because the windshield's a bit cloudy...Oooohhhhh, it just got a lot worse! Whatever was atop those wipers just got smeared all over the glass. And you're your driving, about 35 to 40 mph in somewhat thick traffic too, right? That's why you thought to tap that wiper knob to clear out that haze. Now you're looking quickly, darting your head a little this way & a little that way. Intensely working to catch every important sight through the minor clarity remaining on the windshield. It's quite possible that Rain-X wipers & wiper fluid would help well here too.

Late Spring & Summer days where a super bright sun is one's only effect never looked so good. Or, the ability to transplant oneself to driving on the streets of those cities much nearer the equator. Remember, Daylight Savings Time began just days ago. Around the equinox we gain daylight at its most rapid pace. This time of year we typically pick up close to 3 minutes of sunlight per day. Over the course of the month of March we will gain 86 minutes of daylight.
