i know!

Afton, i drive it at elast 4 times a year.

so i keep telling dave that they have runway fog lights  - and each time,
he goes 'nuh uh - it'd take too much electricity - those're just
reflectors'

(:

so one of these latest times, it was foggy and the lights were on, and he
goes 'those are bright lights!'

'yep - those're real lights, not reflectors'
'nuh uh - they'd have to run wires all the way up - how is that feasible
and cost effeicient'

'well dave, it gets foggy around here...'

(=

he still is disbelieving everytime he sees it.

make home elsewhere.
