We did get some rain during the night. I heard sound of tires on a wet road and peeked out front to see what that looked like. We chose our visiting time well except for one thing. May is a Love Bug season in the central part of the state.
We encountered them sparsely at first but finally they sounded like a heavy rain peppering the windshield. Their bodies bounced off the glass leaving smears of stuff I don't even want to think about. After miles of this treatment there was little of the windshield that was clear. We pulled into a service plaza and I asked J what he thought about using the wipers with fluid on the mess.
With a positive reply from him, I tried it. Unbelievable. We have been filling the washer fluid reservoir with Rain-X windshield washer fluid for a while now. That stuff cleaned the glass like magic after a couple/three squirts and running the wipers on fast.
When we got out of the car, we saw the front bumper was covered with black insect bodies that looked like a thick, fuzzy fur coat. The Rain-X had kept the insects' actual bodies from adhering to the windshield.
We don't own any stock in the company. Maybe we should . . .

Didn't realize Rainex made windshield wiper fluid. Have to get some, since we saw one Love Bug at church. Well, two actually...hooked together as they were - nasty things.
Why can't scientists splice a gene so they taste good to birds.
I am a believer. That stuff is magic in a jug. The price really varies from place to place. I found it from $8 a gallon somewhere on line to $3.99 @ Advance Auto Parts just up the street. Up the street worked for me.
