Brake Light

>

A friend was kind enough to point out how one of the brake lights on my car was not working. So I spent part of yesterday afternoon hunting down a replacement bulb and fixing it. All of which made me wonder how long that bulb had lasted. The car itself is some fifteen years old. And I can't remember ever replacing but maybe one bulb on this car since. That's an amazing performance record, don't you think? 

Anyway, I came away from yesterday's fix with an even deeper appreciation for at least some of our technological advances. My hat's off to those engineers who worked on these parts!
