Ok, today’s yard sales are a bust mostly. Started out with just a little rain, so a few die hards tried to keep going, really wasn’t too bad at first and the temperature was nice enough. We did really score with 2 boxes full of nice picture frames, 3 books and a candle for $8.25. There is a reason there are no pictures of the haul today: the bottom has dropped out, the monsoon has begun! Probably 2 inches of rain in 5 minutes or so! Not good for yard sales or getting things out of your trunk if you don’t have a garage. 
So, we are driving home in this mess and Boyfriend has to put the wipers on high just to try and see where he is going. One dark car or truck after the other is either coming at us or tailgating him, only problem is the colors of the cars blend in with the rain and gray day so much you don’t even know they are there until they are right on top of you. Alright stealth bombers! PUT ON YOUR LIGHTS FOR SAFETY PLEASE! I live in a state where it is even REQUIRED BY LAW, but 75% of people don’t obey it, and they are driving around hidden from view by the rain and moisture. Hello! You are the same color as the road people! Gray, black, dark blue, dark green, and even sometimes white. We can’t see you in the downpour unless you put on your headlights. Just look at the other cars on the road, are there any you have trouble seeing in the rain?
I wish I could have snapped a picture of some of them, you wouldn’t have been able to tell at all that there was a car in it. But rain is good, and we need it! So hopefully people will think to put on their lights, or maybe the rest of us can drive defensively enough to not have any accidents. Still, this remains one of my pet peeves!
I have others too. I can’t remember them at the moment (damn menopause!), but I will update you as events occur . I guess I could vent on the menopause thing too….several spam ‘comments’ have come my way to offer me help with this trying time of my life. Yeah, right. I’m going to trust someone’s website that sends me a spam or autobot comment. Come on! I DO have menopause, I DO forget some things, but I am NOT brain dead! Do any of you blogging girls have any strategies with spam or trash comments? Fill me in if you do, thanks!
Oh well, thanks for reading my rantings and ravings today! Hope you have a great weekend!

This is the THIRD time since starting the SITS 31DBBB Challenge that I have commented after someone who I previously commented after! So bizarre!
Anyway, yes, I agree with you about the headlights. I have a small series of posts that I do called “Dear Driver” where I tell other drives how awful their driving is.
Sorry your box of goodies got soaked and fell through!

I guess somehow we are in sync ). I like the idea of the series, or maybe even a page for my rantings at other drivers. Hope the challenge is going well for you. It is very interesting reading some of the different posts. Have a great weekend!
