If those stupid pandas were any damn cuter, I'd end up heaving my guts all over the keyboard....Anyway, it's good to be back home. It's been a difficult day for driving. No, not because the roads are icy or covered by snowdrifts. In fact, it was close to 60 (about 15 Celsius) and sunny today. And therein lies the problem: All that snow from a few days ago was melting like crazy.
You see, I made the mistake of going to the carwash this morning. Understandable, since the car was filthy with dirt and grime. But after having it washed, it became a major challenge to keep it clean. One ends up having to weave into oncoming traffic occasionally to avoid the wet spots in the road, or slam on the brakes to keep from getting roadspray all over the windshield from the guy in front of you. And that's not even counting having to drive with your head down to avoid Cheney's buckshot.
If President Bush wants to redeem himself in my eyes, he should push for legislation requiring a three day minimum clean car guarantee from carwashes: If it rains, or a bird poops on the windshield, or you drive through snowmelt within 72 hours of your wash, you get a free one.
If the he could pull that off, I'd even forgive him for embarrassing the nation during the, er, "Katrina unpleasantness."
