Dave Edwards-So How’s your week going—bug splat edition!
5-22-24
This usually happens right after a car wash, but…
I’m driving into the studios early Tuesday morning as usual, little if any traffic, and I notice a sizable smudge or streak across my windshield. It’s right in my sightline…not the bottom left or way up on the right—it’s smack dab in my view! After determining it was on the inside, I grabbed a fast food napkin that we all seem to have in our glove compartment or in the middle well. Since there was no car anywhere near me, I carefully did a quick clean and, lo and behold, I could see clearly!
For about two seconds!!
Sure enough, I hear a huge bug splat that sounds like I hit a pterodactyl! And, it’s just about an inch away from where I just cleaned the interior of the windshield! I get to the Woodward Community Media Radio Ranch and I decide I am not leaving this mess to petrify. I take the same napkin I used to clean the inside of the windshield, dip it in a puddle of water left over from the night’s rain, and give the splat a quick rinse.
But seriously, how does that happen two seconds after I think my view is good to go? I feel like I’m in one of those horror flicks where you’re told not to say “I’ll be right back”, when you know that’s when Jason sinks the pick axe into a sex-crazed teenager!
