Sunglasses and Rain

Like most of you reading this posting, I have had to put up with mother nature's joke of wet weather for the past week or so. In fact, one day had to make quite a lengthy trip in a rather heavy rain. It was during that trip that I was given a great tip and made an amazing discovery.

The sun would be out for a short while then it would get cloudy and start to rain a bit. Next we would be driving in heavy rain, then back into moderate sun. As usual, my sunglasses were on when it was sunny, then off for the rain, back on when it got sunny again. Quite an exercise given the short periods between the different weather conditions.

My wife, on the other hand kept her sunglasses on during the entire time. When asked about it, she commented that it was easier to see the road and other vehicles in the daytime rain with sunglasses on. OK, I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but do know when to take advice. So, on came the sunglasses and incredibly the view was sharper and more defined than it had been without the sunglasses.

The point, my wife knows best. Of course that goes without saying, right guys, but also the learning from this experience is twofold:

1. Experiment, you may find you can get great benefit using a product for different purposes

2. Learning is a continual effort throughout our lives. Listen to others and learn many new things.

What could you learn today?

  1. Polarized lenses (made from Polaroid or a similar material) to reduce glare caused by light reflected from polarizing surfaces such as water (see Brewster's angle for how this works) as well as by polarized diffuse sky radiation (skylight).
