Blinded by the Shifter

[brazos]

My secret problem is white butterflies. Yep. White butterflies.

I take my dogs out to run on my deer lease every morning, and have to keep a sharp eye, because they clearly consider it my responsibility to avoid running over them.

They both have a lot of white on them, and when I catch a flash of white in my peripheral vision, I think it’s a dog about to dart in front of me.

I can’t kill all the butterflies, so I’m thinking I may just have to paint my dogs orange.

Has anyone tried this?

I had my first shotgun wedding because of the same attitude.

Ok... being from CA I may not quite understand these things. But why do you need to lease deer? Can't you just buy one?

I have searched, possibly poorly, but is anyone else blinded by reflected light off the shifter? When the sun is at certain angles it seems to go right in my eye. I can't be the only one.

I have noticed this as well, but the same thing happens from other vehicles chrome accents, some people tail lights, and other miscellaneous things while driving, but since I am moving and often changing enough in direction, it only lasts a moment or 2.

I have a similar problem (to the OP, not the sock discussion, although thats not really a problem, more like a lifestyle choice). I drive east on I-20 in the morning and have granite crystal paint. The glare off the hood can be blinding. I tried installing my own hood decal (complete and utter fail) and havent tried again. But for certain months the glare on a sunny morning gives me a serious headache. I wear sunglasses but its still brutal.

Given that I love my jeep and dont want a hood decal, Ill keep complaining.
