Liquids: Day 4

Read the Fine Print

So we were recently driving back from Sandusky (Great Wolf Lodge) and there had been a significant snow event the previous evening.  It was also super windy so snow was blowing and drifting on Route 2 making it a messy situation.  I was lucky enough to be stuck behind a semi for a while so I got that super-pretty, grey slush mist constantly crapping up my windshield.  I'm one of those people who cannot have anything on my windshield or I freak.  It really makes me crazy...as do spots on my glasses.  

Anyway, when we got close to home I ran out of windshield juice.  Noooooooooooo!  So we stopped at the corner gas station and they had one jug left.  Phew!!!  So Bill fills it up.  That night it got cold.  Crazy cold.  I drive to work the next day in the same slushy crap and wouldn't you know it....no juice!  My windshield looked like a bad Photoshop texture by the time I got to work.  It ruined my whole day.  "What happened?", you ask.  I'll tell you exactly what happened.  Bill bought summer fluid.  As in "will freeze solid in temperatures less than 32".  Nice huh?  A full tank of frozen windshield washer fluid. I had to deal with that for over a week.  The first day in the 30's that stuff melted and we drained that sucker dry.  Never, ever, again.

The moral of the story...don't stop for windshield washer fluid on the way back from a water park.  I think the chlorine makes you dumb.
