a sunny day...

My west coast brother has informed me that today is "Look at the Bright Side Day" and "National Flashlight Day." I guess that one way or another we are supposed to see where we are going today.

Happily it was a beautiful sunny day here.  

There was only one problem with that.  I had a lot of driving to do today and the sun (low in the south) shines into my car at a sharp angle when I'm driving west, as I was to get to church. When it shines in that window it also shines into my very light sensitive left eye, and my visor on the driver's side can't be adjusted to block the sun.

So I have come up with what I think is a genius solution. I keep a baseball style cap in my car which I can wear with the bill tilted to keep the light out of my left eye.  

My girlfriend tells me I look like a 'hood.'  Maybe that's good.  If I look tough driving around town no one will bother me. Of course the fact that I'm driving a little ten year old Fiat might blur the image.
