I will do this post and then pass out from major pain killers I've just
taken.


Tonight when driving back home from the supermarket I was heading south on
20th ST West and someone in a massive pickup truck turned onto the street
with awefull bright highbeam lights on and I got blinded and drive right
into a T-pole at 30mph. some people who knew me and what I do got me towed
home but the CFH is now a true junk pile. I'll get enough cleared away to
sell the engine and tranny but the rest is pure trash and I've got a brused
chest too, cal edison is going to replace the T-pole that the old car took
out.

I'll be hurting for some days but had to come home with my food stock and
cat supplys.

I was just starting to think things where going good for me.

Are you ok?

Did you call 911?
Because you should report this.

The truck's lights...were they those stupid blue-white intense lights?
If so, it's time to go to the newspapers and tv & radio.

If it is those stupid lights, you should sue a few car manufacturers

Few people realize that ever brighter headlights are a natural
consequence of permitting ever more unshaded fixed location lights.
That's the real problem with light pollution, impaired visibility.
The economic argument doesn't mean squat to most people.

The more light polluting fixtures, the brighter headlights need to
be.

Can't dim the headlights (and still provide the needed illumination)
without first dimming, shading, or removing all the fixed location
lights.

The more light pollution there is, the more vision is desensitized,
and the longer the recovery time needed for the eye to adapt.


Hope you recover quickly!

I just hate those types. It is really bad when they have their fog lights on
in addition to those halogen
lighthouse lamps. You have 4 very bright lights comin at ya. Total
disregard for other drivers.

When they come up behind you I always position my outside mirrors back at
them aiming for the windshield.

what does this have to do with astronomy?
