    Can’t say I have a problem seeing at night.
    I do have a problem driving a fully loaded truck at night with the limited extent of headlights. I know the headlights don’t give me enough sight with the fully loaded truck. I slow down. I concentrate hard. Don’t let anything else distract me from instant response.
    Now those Volvo headlights were great. Even the low beams. They light up to the right and left greatly. Something about that peripheral vision gives much better orientation at night. Am sure Volvo knows. That’s why they did that.

    Had a driver hold the door for me at a truck stop yesterday. Said thanks. He said: Sure...anything for a Razorback fan. :)
    I was wearing my Razorback hat I got in Arkansas.

    I'm surprised he didn't slam it in your face, you know, out of respect for that fake fair catch :D

    Can’t say I watch spectator sports anymore. Except female mud wrestling. Bought the hat for two reasons. I like Arkansas. Arkansas had the common horse sense to disbar a certain internationally known witch.

    No not at all. It’s actual background music. No singing. Like you would hear in a movie.
    I’m confident he forgets to take his medication.
     
    Dave_in_AZ, SingingWolf and Lepton1 Thank this.
