Ja, Ja, I like this idea better than twisting the arms.  Less chance of
me screwing them up. ;)

Blub....Blub..... well, that's a good point since Sunrise and Fitzpatrick
were under a bit of a deluge.  I already have some kind of air foil on
my drivers side wiper arm, so I don't think I need the foil for that.

Regarding triple blades, I think I'll wait till they come out with 
pentium blades so I can be Intel correct! ;)

(I'm now putting up my Pentium joke deflector shield :O )
