   Well maybe I didn't drive as much as I could have.

   But I drive less now than I did then, and I was one-eyed twice in the   
   last two years.    Occasionally when I'm facing something reflective, a   
   store window, certain cars, I test my headlights but I don't know how   
   long they had been out.   There are enough street lights here that   
   unless I go to the next town at night, I can't tell by how well I can   
   see.   
      
   Also one fog light burned out. Will the police stop you for that?  I   
   guess, if allowed, it would make a good excuse and they like to stop   
   people.
