Re: [VisitToGrandCanyon] Near miss today

Seen 'em. Found them for $32.99 with a wiring kit.
Still deciding what kind to get, if any.
I realized it never occurs to me to spare time or thought for the horn at such
moments. I'm too busy evading the situation. Besides, while someone might jump
away from a loud noise, people tend to steer where they're looking. Not good.
Thanks,
Ed
