The Highway Code rule 112b: LED headlights
![[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text]
[Title panel]:
The Highway Code
Rule number 112b:
LED headlights
In recent years, many
new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights.
LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead
Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph
Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights.
LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car.
[Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps]
They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane.
And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light
Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985).
[Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship]
So remember: you must use LED headlights
To prevent everyone from not crashing into you.
[Image shows this happening]

I'm assuming, from the number of jets tearing up the sky at the moment, that that was a sonic boom that shook the house just now!

Proper winter has definitely set in (though it’s not like it was warm over the last two weeks, except for Sunday with its freezing rain). #Ottawa

Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

This year we’ve been upgraded to “The Annexe of Estrangement”.
Apart from a model shark on the bed and an excess of gym equipment, all is looking good.
But what the hell is going on with the pumpkin summoning charm on the other side of the room? And who needs 5 freezers?

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas
He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic
Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates
He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den
