One of the major observations that will be a running theme in this blog. Is human laziness. Sometimes, even the smallest slightest movement can be a burden on people. Like, moving your hand or fingers to operate your turn signal. Most people would require a nap after making that exhaustive maneuver. So, I'll pose this question for you. How much will it cost you (money & time wise) by not doing anything, or as little as possible? Ask this question to yourself when you're at that mental crossroad.
And, since it's that time (Winter) of the year. I thought I'd give you some food for thought. And, for some people (you know who you are) it may appear that I'm poking a sleeping bear. I mean to. For those people that must park your vehicles outside during the winter. This time of the year can be a real bitch. I know, I used to be one of you. I hit the jackpot and now have a garage to park my car. But, that wasn't before suffering the scrape and brush (and sometimes shovel) of Winter. For me, cleaning off my car was a workout. But, it was also something that I gladly did. Why was I glad to do it? Peace of mind. I knew that I wasn't depositing unwanted ice and/or snow onto city streets or someone elses vehicle. The above picture is the result of someone NOT cleaning off the roof of their car. And then, drive down the interstate. The on coming wind was able to get under the ice and rip it off in a full glorious sheet. Sending it airborne and back into the windshield of the car following behind. Luckily, the woman driving this car and her 7 year old daughter were unhurt. So, I'll go back to the splinter in the mind question that I posed before. How much will it cost you (money & time wise) by not doing anything, or as little as possible?
To the person or persons saying things like "Well, that lady that was in the car behind should have been watching more closely, not following so close, or should have known that the ice may come off that car." You're a lazy asshole. Clean off your car. You may save a life, save yourself a possible ticket, or at least save yourself a shit load of cash paying for repairs to someone else's vehicle.
