Windshield Wipers

As you all know it rained pretty hard Friday afternoon. As usual my wipers were torn and frayed so I had to go buy a new set. The first thing I noticed as I entered the AutoZone parking lot was a couple of people replacing their wipers in the parking lot, and the first thing I noticed when I entered the store was a long line at the register, the majority of people holding wiper blades in their hands. As I looked for wipers for my car, I began wondering whether this is an Imperial Valley thing, a California thing, or just a procrastinator thing.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but I do know that every time it rains I need new wiper blades. I use them that day, then I'll occasionally use them to clean my windshield, but by the time it rains again they're torn and frayed and I go through this rainy day ritual once again.

A little thing I learned from my dad was to leave on an old pair and keep a good pair in your car and only use them when it rains. This way the heat won't eat up your good pair, plus they last longer. It works for me.

if you don't keep a close eye on your wipers and let them become useless and brittle, then by god you deserve what you get.
