And yeah Paseo was mostly ice from Coors to I25 but the freeways weren't bad at all.
I live maybe 5 or 6 mi past you - certainly not 10. All the traffic that hit that bridge before you got on it prolly made it a lot worse. Nice you were able to take your time getting to work though!
Maybe 5 miles as the crow files. From Paseo and Eagle Rance what path do you take to get to your house? I know it takes me 10+ minutes to get up to Pams house from there. And you are roughly 5+ minutes from her house to yours.

At any rate. If you did it, you did it. I think that's nuts and I'm a crazy driver. Actually, I don't think Crazy is the correct term for it. LOL!!!

I need weight in the bed of my 350. That'll balance my truck a bit better on the snow and ice. Plus, all those donuts and burnouts killed my back tires. Not much in the way of traction left. LOL!!!

Cold!! We have about 2" of snow. Nothing big, but they're talking freezing rain/sleet for tomorrow. I don't mind the snow, but that freezing crap sucks!! How's things with you Eddie?

Yeah Eddie, "Crazy" is the understatement of the year when talking about your driving. :0)) I was looking forward to bumming the ride from ya on Monday!! Haha!! Mornings I usually go Unser to Paraside to Eagle Ranch to Paseo. But when it snows taking Irving to Coors works best - it's 2 lane, downhill and wide open. Then hop on Paseo from Coors. Paradise is one lane and the slight hill on Unser heading up to Paradise gets jammed up.

yeah, figured you had to change it up a bit. From Paseo and Eagle Ranch (where my apratment is), I can go up either Irving or Paradice to get to Pams house off of Unser. Takes me at least 10 minutes to get up there. Sucks cuz every other week, I'm up there twice a day. SO, add 20 minutes to my commute just to pick up my kids and drop them off for school. Oh well. Life goes on right?

Things are good. Got in a fight with my X yesterday over my kids. Was sick in bed after I finally got my kids and got home. But, made peace with my GF and she brought me soup and took care of other "needs".

BTW: UBB code didn't work. Had to imbed the image.

Sitting here at work is all. Looks like that snow storm predicted for today might be in the mountains only. Rain in Abq is what they say now.
