Why do hatches have rear wipers & not saloons.
Air flows smoothly over saloon's boot. But for hatches/estates, the swirling wind creates a vortex which accumulates dust on window.
Generally manufacturers don't fit rear wipers on saloon cars because they are deemed to be unnecesary. Most road film that deposits on a car's rear window is caused by the car itself when in motion. In a saloon car (with boot) the rear overhang coupled with a generally steeper rear screen (than a hatchback) minimises the amount of residue on the rear screen.
It is more necessary.
The airflow over the car's body at speed is dependent on the shape of the car. The shape of many hatchbacks and estates (wagons) causes a turbulent zone over the rear glass, so that spray from the road lands on the glass, hindering rear vision. Therefore a rear wiper is useful on wet roads, even if it is not actually raining. This is seldom an issue on a booted saloon.
Orrrr......chey.

Power (metal) Trip down memory lane
X Japan (エックス ジャパン, X Japan?) (originally X (エックス, X?)) was a Visual Kei band formed in Chiba, Japan by the drummer and pianist, Yoshiki Hayashi and the lead vocalist Toshi. They started out as a Japanese power metal/speed metal band, and later gravitated towards an alternative rock sound, but always retained a huge emphasis on ballads.
Was going through my old stuff backing up my data. Found some of my old X-Japan songs. Remember listening to them before the guitarist died. Before all the hype about his death. And before all these kids nowadays who listen to J-rock and metal because it was the cool thing to do. I love the music. Although I don't understand Japanese one bit. But their music is simply brilliant stuff. Classic example of how music is a universal language.

The unsleep
Something is bothering me. I don't know what. I feel normal. Everything seems good. But yet my brain is tingling.
Maybe I have been taking too many naps in daylight. I can't get to sleep. I'm typing this entry at 545am Singapore time.
