I really am a Rita
Posted on | January 16, 2009 | 10 Comments
So, we’re driving down 280 and the morning sun is KILLER, I can hardly see the car in front of me. I think that it’s because my windshield is dirty, so I hit the wiper spray and it doesn’t get any better. I keep hitting the wiper spray, to the chagrin of the car behind me I’m sure, and it just gets WORSE! It’s so bad I can hardly see anything out the window, and I’m debating whether or not to pull over and get out to wipe off my windshield when it occurs to me…
The wiper fluid has frozen to the windshield and that’s why I can’t see. I’ve created a sheet of ice with every pull of the lever.
Turned on the defrost and voila! I can see again.
*The Rita reference is from the Third Season of Arrested Development.

Have a great weekend! And be safe!

lol Sounds like something I would do. However, in our defense, we’re really not used to this type of weather.

BTDT! Glad you figured it out before the icy windshield caused troubles.

Dress warm, wear a hat, and the thoughts come quicker. (Just kidding.)
