Ready for it? [85]

Shoving and turning the key in the ignition, I brought the engine back to life and fiddled with some controls. The window wipers cleaned the window which had a thin layer of dirt deposited over them. When the work was done I backed the car and sped up on the road. There wasn't much traffic on the road today and I couldn't be more thankful to God. Even the pedestrians were less in number, despite the day being Sunday. I assumed it might be due to the eclipse that people are choosing to stay inside as it was warned to not look at the sun due to the infrared rays which are emitted during the eclipse.
