Saw a preview for a movie coming out on Friday. It's about Robert Kearns who patented the intermittent windshield wiper. He later sued Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler for stealing his idea and eventually got $30 million.

Might not pay theater prices to see it but will rent for sure. Who would have thought the guy who invented the wiper delay would get a movie made about him...

I know... just saw a matinee and it cost $8. But what you gonna do. I'm going to see it.

Shame about the time our cars were being made F-F-F-Ford was stealing stuff. Shame. Still like my car though. :D
