Is it the driver or the vehicle?
I always know when a current generation F250 is coming towards me because it's lights are blinding. I swear, every muttonhead driving one either has the brights on 24x7, or Ford makes the s***tiest auto-bright feature on the road. That the front end is as big as a billboard doesn't help.
(I have to admit, I've never been anywhere where they use brights as much as people in NC.)

I talked about this before when somebody was talking about bad drivers. But here it goes again.
NCDOT loves building roads with black tar minus the reflective stuff witch makes it impossible to see at night. I have 15 -15 vision and still struggle. It’s worse when wet. It reflects headlights so you can’t tell where the lines on the road are. Also, I have noticed that there are very few roads here with lights. Not sure why that is. I don’t mind it. But it does make roads exceptionally darker requiring me to use my brights more often since I moved back here.
I do own a lifted f250 but my headlight housings are so old that I could have my brights on and people would not even know because I get very little light output. I really need to replace them.
Do you think more and more people are starting to use the LED version of H4 bulbs? I just bought a pair for my Toyota truck and the output on those bulbs is ridiculously bright.

If its newer 250s, didn't ford come out with a recall recently for their lights being too bright?

Told you to stop going to voodoo doctors John!
One time my dad had an IV put in his arm, but they missed the vein/artery they were aiming for. They didn't realize it, and he was kinda konked out. It wasn't till his arm was 2x the normal size from IV fluids draining under his skin before they realized they missed. His arm looked like yours after the fluid drained out. Painful for sure.
Rude caller hung up on me tonight. On ME! She called me at my house! Went like this...ring ring ring
“Hello”
“oh hello sir, I am from the some stupid s*** foundation and calling to ask if you approve of last term abortions”.
“Me? Absolutely, those are very important and we need more”
she is now silent, shocked like she didn’t expect the answer. Probably because I registered republican since the first day I voted, long before the party went nuttier than squirrel s***. “Well, how late you approve of abortions”
“Five years. I think that’s about right, after that you keep it”. She is silent again so I continue “some teenagers too do need aborting, I know a few”. And that’s when the line went dead. So rude. I won’t get her a Christmas card.

@izzyandsue Thank you so much Izzy I am sitting here with tight stomach muscles from laughing so hard. Too damn funny!!!
Mailed my mother a late Mother's day present on Tuesday via USPS. She lives in Indian Land SC, just south of CLT. That's about 160 miles / 3 hour drive between our houses. Package was picked up on Tuesday, and by yesterday morning was at the "MID CAROLINA-CHARLOTTE NC DISTRIBUTION CENTER ". It has now sat there for ~26 hours, with an estimated delivery for tomorrow. this shipment isn't time sensitive, thank God, but why the hell didn't they just send it out for delivery today. Package was sent Priority Mail. Sometimes I think they hold things so as not to "over-deliver" on the level of service.
