Does the mayor realize we are in the 21st century?

"Mayor Witmire requested Houstonians show their respect for the fallen firefighter, by turning their headlights on, while driving, tomorrow."

With the exception of the meth heads driving their hoopties with no lights, and Becky who drives with her brights all day because she's too dumb to know the difference, doesn't everyone's lights stay on anyway? Automatic Day-time running lights?

I get the message and the respect. Is there an actual way a regular Houstonian can show their respect? Has anyone told the mayor about Day-time running lights?

If not, he's going to thing everyone in the city got the message, while he's in the funeral procession.

Also, yes. God bless the fireman's family. All firemen are heros.
