The White Stuff....

I got lucky yesterday. We had a howling snowstorm that was in full swing during afternoon rush hour. My winter driving skills are adequate, but I always get a little nervous when the roads are slick. I'm blessed with a commute of less than two miles from home to office, but there is a VERY steep hill halfway between them. I almost didn't make it down yesterday on my way home. You could hardly see a thing, it was practically a white-out. I must have been going all of three miles an hour, and I could feel the back end of the car losing control and heading sideways. I had an impatient FUCK in an SUV right on my bumper, hounding me to go faster. God, he pissed me off! I'm sure his traction is just great, and he can drive down a steep, slippery hill as fast as he could on any other day, but I sure as hell can't!! My heart was pounding when I regained control and made it to the bottom of the hill in one piece. Damn arrogant SUV drivers....

idiots in snow

coming home last night, I crossed Regent Street at a crosswalk. Traffic was endless in both directions, creeping along, which did not prevent one driver from getting extremely angry and rolling down his window to yell at me because I had dared use the crosswalk to cross in front of his creeping vehicle.

This morning, people were ripping down Dayton St. as though it was a warm dry summer day, not a day of blowing snow covering patches of ice.
