driving merrily along...

I love the sunroof in my new car. It lets in so much light. And air. It's fun to wave to people raising one arm UP out the top window instead of dangerously out the side window towards closely passing objects, like streetcars, or cyclists. It also creates a bit more noise which requires me to crank up the music very loud.

You should however, be very careful about what you store in the back seat when you are driving with the sunroof open. Mostly, it should be okay. But if the stop and go traffic suddenly goes, and you proceed without much thought, well, cyclonic action can happen.

To the people driving behind me on the highway earlier, I apologize for the fireworks of brightly coloured tissue paper.

  6. LOL I was getting a visual with the coloured paper flying out. I used to have a car, eons ago. I used to drive it up and down the highway in the spring with all the windows open to get rid of dog's hair! I can just imagine how it looked to the cars behind me!

  7. HD: did you air out your dog at the same time? I love to watch dogs with silly grins on their faces hanging out the windows catching some air!!
