LMAO, Joe... Wish you had a GoPro video going... That would have gone viral by now... I'm imagining your voice letting him have it. Caught your breath yet?  |

Isn't it funny! It's like the turds that complain if you so much as "blink" you high-beams while driving, yet don't think there's anything wrong with them blinding you while traversing a submerged "mine-field"?
I fish a particular wooden bridge at night, and it never ceases to amaze me that there are so many people that can't see while driving with their REGULAR head lights on!
I mean, it's not like they're in a backwoods country road where wildlife can dart out from any part of a road, but a wooden bridge with a boardwalk on one side only!
I just don't understand the need to light up the entire area just because YOU can't see and SHOULDN'T be driving at night!!!!!
This hatred of the "night-driving blind" started after I was blinded by a driver while walking along this bridge. Since I could not see anything but their retina-burning lights, I was unable to see the boardwalk and proceeded to walk off the edge and sprain my ankle.
Luckily, it was only a slight sprain, but I vowed that whenever I fish that bridge, and some night-vision impaired driver blinds me, I will IMMEDIATELY RETURN THE FAVOR.
Hey, I need to see where I'm going too!
When they end up running into the railing or the edge of the boardwalk and start complaining to me, I'll just say "Sorry" and continue on my way!
Will the stupidity and ignorance ever end?
Probably not, but I figure that unless there is an immediate need for that much light (accident, medical or mechanical emergency) then they are just letting the rest of us know that they are idiots and will probably not catchi any fish that trip!

I'm getting to old to go to bed @ 3:15-3:30 and get up at 6 especialy when it's the third night this week.. it makes me cranky!...My bud got quite a kick out of it too...and of coarse, because this IS a family show here.. i relayed the PG version.. tne R version was rather blunt and insulting...

this might sound strange....Joe
but i think right then you should have put on mirrored sunglasses
same as an airline pilot does when he's being lazer beamed
from the deck...
your getting to the age where that much stress starts to accumulate... and then can cause a physical manifestation
if your not careful....
because.....
if he saw just one of your plugs he'd be kissing your feet
~just a thought~
