My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.


Drove a Ford Focus pre-dawn to a meeting 2.5hrs away & left the lights on Auto-- which, I discovered, also turned the brights off & on as it sensed cars ahead of me on the highway.

For YEARS I've been trying to figure out what drivers, flashing their brights at me in odd fashions, are trying to say.

Nothing, it turns out. I was not communicating with a human after all.

in reply to @effika's post:

I had a similar experience driving a rented kia soul (sol?) down I-5... every. single. overpass I drove under triggered my dash to dim, (and presumably my lights to change). of course the responsiveness didn't come NEAR the time i spent in the "dark" so it was just obnoxious >.<
