Winter Weather

Last night, at 10:30, I looked out and noticed the grass was missing, and white stuff was gathering on it.. This morning, the white stuff had won, and the whole place was missing.. Unlike most people I hate snow. It is too cold, and causes wrecks, so why like it? This being said, I have driven a semi across Wyoming, in driving snow, and seen my trailer out of my Right side window..... Getting it back where it belonged was interesting, I am glad the freeway went uphill then. The plus side of the Weather, My wife decided that getting off the property was too much hassle today, so I got breakfast made for me.. I do not know if the white stuff will stay for long. It is melting off the house already, so hopefully the world will come back soon.

Dude, I love this white stuff. It gives me a chance to
play. I live in the huge(ha ha ha) city of Gibson, and there are a lot of fields around
here. I have a few connections, so I can basically go anywhere.

Uh oh, I hope wifey-pooh didn't have to drive anywhere in it...

I'd better call her tonight.

Survey says (especially in Tidewater Virginia) when the roads git slippy, hunker down. Else one of the ten thousand or so inexperienced but falsely confident drivers in the area will re-align your back bumper, fenders, or grill...

It's funny though - we do not seem to have as many stupid people in Tennessee. That's one of the things I noticed right away!

Case in point:

When I first went to Memphis with an eye to staying, I nearly "Exited the Roadway in a Non-Asphalted Area" because across the nation if you look at another lane to see who is there it apparently sends a signal to the car(s) behind you in that lane to hurry up and close the gap...

(as if they would lose a race if they let you get in front of them, even though being in front in another lane didn't matter for some reason)

I was driving east on Stagecoach Road, and I looked over to the right.
Out of habit I looked again because there was room, but I wanted to be sure what the other car was doing...

I had to turn my head nearly 180 degrees, because that vehicle had completely VANISHED!

When I finally saw it in my rear view, the man had dropped back at least a carlength and a half and was making a distinctive hand signal that in Tennessee means:

"Y'all C'mon ovah H'yah!!"


~ I couldn't believe it! Decent people on a highway...


WHAT A NOVEL APPROACH TO LIFE!
