Someone commented on here a while ago that his neighbor had a back-up camera and backed into his car twice. Somehow I compare backing up with a backup camera to taking a picture of yourself in the mirror and looking at the camera. Backing up, why look at the small screen instead of the large window? Taking pictures, why look at the small screen instead of the large mirror?

However...

The camera is lower than the window, which seems to be the entire point of the mandate. I could not see a one year-old behind my Civic, but he or she would show up in a back-up camera.

I think I always combat parked, even before I joined the Army, but if we could not pull through, we always reversed in--with a ground guide. People regularly act upset that I am combat parking, but people regularly act upset with anything I do that is different.

The same people probably demand that I accept their individuality.

Mom complains every time that I back in. I admit that it takes longer, but I get that time back when I drive away.
