Windows are meant to go down

It was almost 60 degrees today, absolutely gorgeous weather. I decided I would take a drive north of town to avoid homework. I rolled down all my windows and opened the moon roof in my car. I turned on the country music and hit the road, Jack.

As I was heading through Kearney I noticed something. It was 60 degrees and every car but about three had their windows rolled up. I couldn’t believe it. I had my arm hanging out the window like the nice weather only came once a year! I was like an overly excited dog in the bed of a pickup who hangs his tongue out and who runs from side to side, all the while his ears flying back like Superdog.

It makes me wonder how hot or cold people are if they do not roll their windows down on a 60 degree day. Do they turn on the AC or do they unconsciously turn on the heat? Either way, they are not making good use of our unseasonably warm weather!

These warm days aren’t a dime a dozen in Nebraska, so why not enjoy them? If you ever see me driving around on a day like today, I will be the one with my tongue hanging out and my ears flying back. You better hope I don’t see you with your windows up. Windows are meant to go down.

  2. Damn strait the windows need to come down. I have had that thought the last few days, too. The smokers don't even have their windows down.
