Some-days They Don't Pay Me Enough

Sorry for the quality of the cell phone picture. First winter storm of the season. 280 miles of my 490 miles were on roads like this. First 170 were in the dark. FedEx and UPS long haulers were doing 45 mph.

This was eastbound on US 26 from I-25 (just North of Wheatland, WY).

Did I mention the wind? 30-35 mph and gusting.

Now to find some cheese to go with my whine.

I love snow... for about 15 minutes. Then I'm ready for Spring.

Perverse sort that I am, I enjoy the challenge. Heat and humidity bothers me.

Ouch, not a fun day for sure! Stay safe out there!

Been doing it for over 50 years. Want to see me shake? I-75, Florida, in a rain storm. Those drivers must have radar because they can't see two car lengths in front of them and they don't slow down. Yikes!

Yeah, I-75/I-95 are just plain nucking futs!!! Hate them myself!

Or Atlanta at 1700.

My employer is sooo understanding. Gives me an extra thirty minutes on my schedule when the roads are bad.
