I just think of "the road" as just a general space in which cars drive in and on. It's more of an abstract creation than something real. . .like a contract, I guess, you could say. It's fact only as long as we believe in it.
That make sense at all?
Quite literally, many people are thrown through their windshields during auto accidents and end up as marmalade smeared on the open road.
Ok, Anon, fair enough, though I wonder then what kind of hazards have to do with improperly installed windshields and the open road.
I'm with you on the lucrative programming conundrum. I love coding and designing, but sometimes you'd like to try other things, and the money issue prevents that. A year ago or so I wanted to quit and go work at B&N for a little while just to clear my head, but a 95% cut in pay was something I couldn't get over. Not that I'm complaining, but it is one of those issues that kind of sneaks up on you.
The flipside of that is that working retail might not be the breath of fresh air you'd assume it to be. I can't speak with authority because I haven't had a job like that for a *long* time, but still.
Well, the most typical damage to you that would happen if you didn't have a windshield is the rocks from the road. . .so, literally, the windshield is defending you against a rock that used to be part of the road. . .but that's pretty unwieldy to say instead of 'The Road.'
Could be. Ran for lunch w/ a coworker and a stone bounced from no where and left a smallish mark on his windshield; guess better the windshield than us!
So I do agree windhsields are important, but still think that it's a poor explanation for why you need it "done right".
It's interesting to compare giant's pitch with J N Phillips Autoglass, they talk a lot about having the tools to heat the adhesive before application. Fact is, in a pinch I'd likely call GIANT just because I would remember their phone number.
