Today, the frost was quite apparent. On the walk to Caleb’s school, the kids had a lot of fun making foot prints in the frosted grass. They got quite a kick out of it, in fact. Abby especially liked the idea, which is fine with me. If Mother Nature can provide the entertainment, then all is good.
Something else about frost is that it loves to collect in a thick, tough coating on the glass of your vehicle. Now, some folks warm their cars up in the morning to clean off the frostiness. Others diligently scrape. There are those who just don’t do either. These are the ones who, if there’s even a small scraping in their front view, they take off, expecting not to hit anything. These people are risking their lives and those all around them merely because they are too lazy to take a moment and scrape. Perhaps they didn’t have a dollar to get a scraper at the dollar store. Folks, winter’s approaching. Where are your scrapers?
On the walk back, we witnessed this very thing. This was not the day this guy was getting to work early for sure! He stopped dead on the busiest street on the north side to scrape a tiny hole on the inside of the windshield about 3 inches long. Then, he carried on, with no view out the side windows, the back, or the front, to speak of. His bad luck? The car immediately behind him was a police patrol car! Whoops! Sorry about your delay. Sorry about your fine! Not really! You could have taken 90 seconds and scraped enough off your window to be safe and you didn’t. You suck, dood.
Oh, and have a nice day! Don’t forget to stop at the dollar store!
I’m closing comments on this artcle, as only spammers are commenting and they’re not even participating in the discussion.
I agree wholeheartedly. This person is needlessly risking lives and this is a simple no brainer. Is this the real picture of the event by the way or something that was found on the net? I assume the net because I detect no frost! hahaha
It was from the net. Once I finally get a new camera, then there will be real pictures of real events. Ironically, I had to scrape my windshield again (even though I had already warmed the car up earlier – just waited too long to get in and go – writing this blog post. LOL) before leaving my yard!
That’s funny! Oh the hidden costs of ranting/blogging!
Say, isn’t that your car Corey
Sorry, I haven’t been to Ohio.
I’m going to import the Yahoo! ones from the Yahoo! Smilies plugin to the More Smilies plugin. Pryadi’s plugin hasn’t had an update since Feb 2005. Matt updated his today. I’ll go with the one that’s integrated with WP2. No worries, man.
The Yahoo one HAS been updated. Look at mine. it’s updated.
Yeah, you updated it.
