The Slice

Limited visibility

Saw a car this morning being driven by someone who had bothered to scrape frost from only about 10 percent of the windshield.

The driver was, in effect, peering out of a little peep hole.

Submarine captains in old World War II movies could see more when looking out of their periscopes than that South Hill motorist could see out of the frosted windshield.

So here's my question: Why not take an extra minute or two and scrape the rest of the windshield?

We all know what it's like when you are running late. But c'mon. Isn't it sort of important to be able to see the road?

I suppose some drivers count on their defrosters to finish the job. But these folks are probably half way to their destinations before that happens.

If there really were such a thing as guardian angels, I'm guessing some of them would put in for a lot of overtime.
