I drove Coco to meet her Mom yesterday and it poured rain on us the entire trip. I don’t know about you, but I HATE driving in the rain.
Traffic was much worse on the way north than it was on my way back home. The way there I was either driving 45 mph or 75 mph. Some drivers forget how much wet blowback they’re going to get when they move to the showoff lane to pass a semi. They just dart out there in front of other cars only to brake once they get there. ARG!
Driving in the rain is dangerous! ☠️
Did you know over 1 million crashes annually are tied to wet weather, with about 4,700 fatalities and 384,000 injuries? A study from the American Meteorological Society found that crash risk doubles during rainy conditions compared to clear weather. Still… there I was… wearing my Queen Nana crown… hauling precious cargo like a boss.
For the record, Coco’s wearing a hat not because it’s all that cold on this spring day, but because she got a haircut she hates.
Same thing happened to me once — I went for a haircut wanting the hair over my ears evened up with the rest of the layers I already had. The beautician heard “trim over ears” to mean shave the sides like a man’s haircut! My buddy, Alisa, took a photo of me with toddler Ben during that time and I still have it. Still to this day when I look at it, all I see are my ears.
Now you know: In 2012 as a man was cleaning out his great-aunt’s home after she died, he found 345 well-preserved comic books in a closet, including Detective Comics No. 27 (first appearance of Batman), Action Comics No. 1 (first appearance of Superman) & Batman No. 1. In total. the collection sold for $3.5m.
