Windshield displays

I heartily agree with Tony DeNovellis about distracting digital dashboard distractions (President’s Message, September/October 2011, page 6). I use none of these distractions myself, except one wonderful little feature on my 2001 Buick LeSabre (and, a friend tells me, on his wife’s new Lexus) that displays my speed on the windshield directly in front of me, so there’s no need to look down from the road.

Without that feature (for example in my brand-new Subaru Outback), I have to “guess” where I am between, say, 31 and 39 mph. Yes, there is a line at 35 mph, but it’s not nearly as easy to see—and my eyesight is pretty good.

Facing the opposite way

“Mini Tour: Lassoing the Wet Mountains” (September/October 2011, page 26) opens with a beautiful photo of a mountain vista and the caption: “A scenic view of the Wet Mountains from the Frontier Pathways Scenic and Historic Byway.” Unfortunately, the photo is of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The Wet Mountains are on the other (east) side of the Wet Mountain Valley.

The Wet Mountains are immediately behind the photographer, to the east.

The use of “Canon City” instead of “Cañon City” was upsetting. Leaving off the tilde shows lack of respect to a whole city. I also wish that the CDOT would get their signs right, but that is a whole other story.
