Caught on the interstate in the, "static screen"; I've had to pull over and just sit until it ended. In the mountainous areas you can't see the road with it. Well done.

oh, yes, indeed - those 1960's TV screens - what a great analogy. Well done, Kim. When small, I often felt my parents had me so I could change the channel and volume for them (kidding, but not??), the trick was to do so without blocking the screen. Such screens are now in the bittersweet pile where all we've seen outdated goes. Really enjoyed. All the best ... CayCay

Thanks so much CayCay! Love your story! Mine was asking my dad what the other channels were for...we only had 3.

Kim, great Kimo, I have seen the rain like a static screen and the snow in the night blurring everything too ~
