It's presence was preventing the windshield from clearing and my visability in the increasingly hard rain was quite poor. It was so firmly lodged it did not appear that it would just blow out. I really didn't want to have to stop and deal with it, but it seemed inevitable that I would.

I said - "I want that leaf to go away so I can see." (Repeat, repeat)

No...that's not right...keeping me in a state of wanting...

"That leaf has gone away."

Ummm...still not exactly right.

"I can see clearly!"

Whoosh! The leaf disappeared.

Mmmm...I think you had an attack of wind there Lola? Perhaps that's what you were trying to IM?
