Here are my two happy things from yesterday:
I have new windshield wipers on my car. If you haven’t replaced your windshield wipers in the past year, do so now.
As I was driving down a rain-soaked backroad, I drove through a deep puddle, making a fantastic spray. An oncoming car hit the same puddle from the other side just after I drove through it. I watched in my rear-view mirror as the other car made a U-turn to have another go at it from my lane. I now resolve to swerve—without jeopardizing my or others’ safety—and hit every puddle I possibly can.
