EXTRA POINT
We left our Vermont hillside home bound for Cambridge yesterday morning at 6:15. With rain coming down and in the forecast all day, I got up early to head into the garage and apply Rain-X water repellent to the windshield of our car. While the stuff makes water bead and fly up and off the windshield so effectively that in many cases you don't even need to turn on your wipers, it is the way it eliminates the windshield smearing that makes driving in the rain at night so tricky that is its best quality. Yes, I am a huge Rain-X fanboy.
