An interesting tidbit the local radio DJs read off the wire yesterday: a
third of the drivers with high beams on in town are legally intoxicated. (I
presume the rest are clueless.)

Absolutely clueless. And ignorant. There was a time when one would have
been ticketed for driving with one's brights on in town, or even for having
auxiliary lamps on in town.

The other day a woman in an Explorer gave me the finger when I told her to
shut off her high beams (she also had her auxiliary lamps on). We were
going in opposite directions in stop-and-go traffic in town, so I had
plenty of time to roll my window down and tell her.
