"I'm just saying..."

Not complaining, merely noticing...

The road between Baker and Plevna is 13 miles long, without a single street light. Often, in warmer weather (35F+), herds of deer, both mule deer and white-tail, feed along the highway. There are also white rabbits that have ill intentions. And owls in the morning. Sometimes foxes, pheasants, snakes, cats and coyotes.

Turning the brights on when you're driving seems reasonable. But what does not seem reasonable, at least to Stephan and me, is leaving them on until you get 50 feet away from the approaching vehicle (or "outfit"). Why do you do this, oh people of Southeastern Montana? We turn our brights off right away. Sometimes we even flash our brights at you to let you know that we're about to be blinded by your headlights. But still, you leave them on. I think my retinas are seriously being damaged.

Not complaining or making fun- just saying.

oh precious one...thinking that it's only Southeastern Montana is your first error. Secondly, thinking it will ever stop is your second. Welcome to another wonderful attribute of this great state.
