Windshield wipers hitting trim

[one_dusty_hoot]

Eye doc told me that as you age pupils react more
slowly to changes in light, sometimes as long as
7 minutes to fully adjust. If you wear glasses you
can have them coated with an anti-reflective coating
for a cost of $30.00, this help a lot. It goes along
with the "CRS" aging disease, and, is callled, "CSS"
