3. well.... that's sorta neat
but you really shouldn't drive without your headlights on ever, unless your car has daytime running lights. It's just far more safe to have your headlights on than not.

9. YAY!
:) I honestly didn't want to sound like a bastard, but driving safety is something that I take very seriously, and if I have to sound like a dick for safety, I'll do it.

I was in a horrible accident when I was 14
"they" all thought we should have been dead.......
they are not making cars like they used to....
we were in a "73 nova.... and it saved our lives.


anything that makes driving safer is OK in my book....

4. Wait a sec, I just looked out the window and it's pretty dark out there
Are you sure it was light enough for no headlights? Still with the cold and wind, it's hard to imagine spring time is here.

15. Very true
This cold bleah weather will not last much longer. Then a hand full of glorious days, where we envy those that are off or get to work outside. Then quickly it's time to retreat to the confort of the A/C.:beer:

19. The wind was shaking our house
I'm glad it's not too cold. This thing has no insulation and is drafty as hell.

17. I live in an 1880 house, with no A/C
Summer is endured rather than enjoyed.

I absolutely love Fall, and then deep Winter

20. I never had AC
until 1992

grew up with fans all over the house

(hint: the double fan in the window is a godsend) :)
I would turn the lights out in the bedroom, turn on the fan and turn down the covers on the bed.... usually a little comfortable to go to bed.....

so I know what its like..

hope it won't be to bad a summer for you.......

18. Warm here
69 deg at 7:28 CST, still light enough you COULD go without headlights, but really it is better to put them on as it is slipping into dusk.


Spring is here in Arkansas, it has been here for a couple of weeks.

My allergies can attest to that!
