| Post subject: | Monday Morning's Champion Effort |
This morning's champion effort belongs to the old man who was cleaning the frost off his windows in Adamstown (Newcastle). At first, that doesn't really sound like anything worthy of "praise", but he happened to be parked on the road at the time. I'll paint a picture: In Adamstown, Brunker Rd is the main thoroughfare - it leaves the Pacific Highway (the main road into Newcastle from the south) off the ridge, heading downhill around a sweeping (and blind) corner. It was just after that corner, right near the intersection of Brunker Rd & Yarrum St that our genius had stopped. So, peak hour traffic, coming around a blind corner, from a main thoroughfare, banking up behind an elderly gent who stopped his car in the middle of the road - as I passed heading up the hill to the south. I really wanted to stop and wait for the inevitable rear end smash, but had to continue on to work. |

I assume it's because of the change in temperature as he changed altitude... because as I went past going the other direction, my windscreen fogged up, too (so, not ice, just ... frost? condensation?) - but I decided using my windscreen wipers was a much better idea |
