Yes, from a dutch professor. At least guess he is a professor because he has a degree from university. I have to go to pick up the kids from school now. Talk to you later.

dcdeb Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hello there Oldlings! Have had a harrowing day already! Major rant to follow: I left the house around 10 a.m. and it was *just* starting to flurry a little. So I go to the store for a few essentials, and as I'm checking out I see that it is a BLIZZARD outside. Seriously, in that short time nearly 2 inches has accumulated. And people around here don't know how to drive in the snow. They just don't. SUVs are going 20 mph. It's a freakin' TRUCK for cryin' out loud! And I'm seeing that the longer they take to creep along the worse it's getting. Sheesh. So, I wind my way home, decide to take a main road instead of the back roads because I assume it'll be clearer. End up following a police car. OK, fine. Get to within a 1/2 mile of my house -- cars all over the road. The cop puts on his lights and won't let me pass. But... but... I live just over the hill, I can leave my car at the bottom and walk home! No way, Jose. So I turn around. And I go back on the main road the long way around and eventually make it back to my neighborhood again coming from the other direction. Decide not to go down the *really* big hill, because I know I'll never get back up the other side, decide instead to go the longer way around, which would put me at the bottom of the hill that I was trying to get to before. As I crawl along this winding downhill, I realize maybe this wasn't the best idea, as I see one car after another has slid off the road, one with its back wheels spinning in the air, another crashed into a mailbox. Two teenage boys in a really bad collision -- both cars really banged up. But I keep my cool and get to the bottom of the hill, where there are about a half dozen cars blocking my way to the turn I want to make, so that I can pull over to the space I've been aiming for. Finally, finally, one woman, again in an SUV (and I have to ask, what is the use of these things if you can't drive them in a little snow???) moves over so I can get by. I pull over into the spot I've been thinking of, park the car, grab a few bags out of the trunk, and trudge up the hill to my house. Along the way, I pass more cars spun off the road, and other crashed into a mailbox. It's now noon. I left at 10 a.m. At least I know the car is safe -- unless someone crashes into it. And I'm safe at home. Whew. To top it all off, my hubby's been in California all week -- he's due to come home tonight. His flight is supposed to get in at midnight -- maybe by then, things will be cleared up and the snow will have stopped. But as of right now, it's still coming down pretty good. Have about 3 inches so far, we may get as much as 6. I figure when Alex (my son) gets home, we'll both walk down to the car and get whatever else is in there that I should bring home. And then we'll see... *sigh* I think I'll light a fire and have a cup of hot chocolate! OK, thanks for listening -- I feel a little better now dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
