Non sum pisces
Greetings,
This blog will not concentrate on anything specific; I intend to write at least one entry per month -probably more, about whatever I want to write about. Hell, I might even write about stuff I don't want to write about; sometimes, you just have to write...
So, for starters:
If you're looking for some free entertainment whilst on a road trip, it is useful to know that your automatic garage door opener will set off most radar detectors. Some detectors have more sophisticated circuitry that can distinguish between actual radar and other signals, these drivers will ignore you and continue flying down the road. Don’t be discouraged, it’ll work sooner or later.
Safety first:
Don't be obvious such as pushing the button furiously while it’s attached to your visor, 'cause you might be dealing with a nutcase with road rage issues. Instead, be discreet and keep your opener out of sight.
I was sitting at a red light yesterday and there was a woman driving a huge SUV on my left. I could clearly see her and the radar detector suctioned onto her windscreen. As I would hit my garage door opener, she would look at her detector. It was one of those, ‘HA! made ya look’ moments. Ok, after two times, this gets boring too and the only reason I even thought about doing it is because I’d just stopped a few minutes earlier and replaced the battery in my opener.
Later,
Brian
