Before the hearse limousines come and take a deceased person to the funeral home or wherever they are going, the person usually has a few last words to say. These can either be funny, ironic, filled with knowledge or just nonsensical words that they are remembered for. On Monday, I posted some of these. Today, I’m going to post a few more of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them, too.

James Dean, just before his fateful crash:
“My fun days are over.”

Al Jolson, entertainer:
“This is it. I’m going. I’m going.”

John F. Kennedy, upon arriving in Dallas in November 1963:
“If someone is going to kill me, they will kill me.”

Malcolm X, just before getting assassinated:
“Cool it, brothers.”

Elvis Presley, at his last press conference:
“I hope I haven’t bored you.”

Ethel Rosenberg, accused of being a foreign spy with her husband:
“We are the first victims of American fascism.”

Dylan Thomas, poet:
“I have just had eighteen whiskeys in a row. I do believe that is a record.”

Voltaire, when asked to renounce Satan on his deathbed:
“This is no time to make new enemies.”

Charlie Chaplin, after the priest said, “May the Lord have mercy on your soul”:
“Why not? After all, it belongs to him.”

Do you have any words you’d like to be remembered for? We’d love to hear them!

While on our road trip with the vehicle from my local GMC dealer, I noticed something I hadn’t noticed before: I don’t have excellent night vision. I try to do all my driving during the day simply because it’s safer, but I drove for a few hours after dark one of those days and couldn’t see very well. Are you like me? If so, you’re in luck. I found some ways to help improve your night vision.

Clean Your Windshield
A clean windshield is the first step to having decent night vision. Those bugs and smears on your windshield can impair your vision. Make sure you clean the inside and outside thoroughly with streak-free cleaner. I’ve found that vinegar and newspaper work the best.

Mirrors
Make sure your mirrors are situated in such a way so that they don’t reflect the light into your eyes. The main rearview mirror has a setting so the lights behind you don’t glare into your eyes. Don’t be afraid to use that setting.

Dim the Dashboard Lights
The lights on your dashboard could detract your eyes’ focus from the road. The dimmer you keep those lights, the more you can focus on the dark roads ahead.

New Glasses
This was something I had a problem with. My glasses were so old that they had scratches and other stuff that made my eyesight less than what it should be. Once I got new glasses, though, my night vision improved greatly.

Don’t Look at the Lights
Your eyes have a hard time focusing in the dark if you look at the headlights of oncoming traffic. Never look directly into the lights. Instead, look to the side of the road or straight ahead.
