The weather is really grim today. It has been raining pretty hard since I woke up this morning and is still going strong…. Things got a bit scary on the way to work. I was in the left lane on a busy road and saw that the there was a huge (deep) puddle that went across both lanes. I braked a little, anticipating the huge amount of water that would shoot up from my car if I plowed through it. Unfortunately the guy in the right lane didn’t think so far ahead. He drove through the puddle hard and fast. The result was that he sprayed so much water onto my windshield that I couldn’t see anything at all, and it took several seconds for the wipers to clean it away. I had to brake hard and try to stay in my lane, but the road was curving and it was hard to know just where my lane was! It was like driving with my eyes closed! Plus, there were cars behind me and I was worried that I would get rear ended, or worse, that I would misjudge where I was going and end up sideways in the wrong lane. Luckily nothing bad happened, but geez was it scary! I was nearly shaking all the way to work. The guy that sprayed me drove off without acknowledging what he’d done. I gave him a few honks and memorized his license plate when we were stopped at the light, although I’m not really sure what good that will do me….
