Windshield Wipers


Saw this in a parking lot near the office and asked my coworker why all the windshield wipers were up. "So they won't melt onto the windshield," he told me. 

Yup, Taiwan summers are sweltering. I'm starting to love rain; I used to hate how inconvenient it made everything, but now I'd be grateful for a respite from the heat.

Hope that, unlike me, you're enjoying summer weather!


with love,

  7. Hah! Some people do that for the opposite reason: when it's snowy/icy, lifting your wipers up keeps them from getting frosted to the windshield. (Easier to scrape, and less likely to break if you forget they're frozen and try to turn them on.)

  8. Ooh, I had no idea! Thanks for the tip.

    I'm totally spoiled by Southern California weather. It's always kind of
    strange to remember that in some places, people actually have to deal with
    ice and snow and stuff. :P
