   Traffic rant
Well...the traffic today was the same as yesterday: a pain in the arse!

My rant actually applies to night driving. I'm incredibly nearsighted. As in, I'm so nearsighted that I see about 6 inches clearly without my glasses. Well, one of the drawbacks to being nearsighted is a slight sensitivity to bright lights. I drive a 1999 Plymouth Neon Expresso...a small car. Well, oncoming headlights are a bit painful thanks to being nearsighted. Just add to the mix a fullsized pickup or SUV. Their headlights hit my car dead center in the windshield, or right at my eye level. Or when they come up behind me at a stop light, the lights hit my side mirror just right to blind me. My brother couldn't understand why I complained about headlights of trucks & SUVs until one time we went to Sioux City and I was driving. I pulled into a parking space at the mall and there was a honkin' huge pickup in the facing stall. I told him to look at where the headlights are and where they line up to me in the car. He then understood. He doesn't have the problem because he's 6 inches taller than me and the lights don't hit him the same way.

Anynhoo... this was supposed to be a rant. Maybe I just wasn't as worked up about it as I thought. Maybe I just wanted to whine a while. Now I'll go find some cheese to go with that whine....
