Wiggins, CO. Only railroad crossing in town with a 3 mile long empty eastbound train waiting for a 3 mile long loaded westbound train to pass. I knew a way around - saved 30 minutes.
The past few days have seen some large storms in the Nebraska Panhandle. This is Sutherland, NE. I waited three days to do my assignments in the area.
Several wrecks are still waiting to be towed along I-80 and I-75. There are many more tracks where vehicles left the road and have been retrieved.
In years past I would have gone regardless. Am I older and wiser? Older, for sure; wiser or gutless?

Wisdom, my friend!

Sounds like a wise decision to me. There are a bunch of other drivers on the road and I believe the overall skill level has gone down over the years. You have to take into account that you are sharing the road with some idiot and make your traveling decision accordingly.
Sign on wall at Doctor's office. In other words act like an intelligent adult?
Good luck with the surgery.
Wisdom from long experience. Good judgment comes because of bad judgment.

Slills? I wonder if all the new tech (traction control, lane assist, etc) has eroded basic skill levels?

I've done enough bad judgement stunts that I should be a genius. Not there yet, so am keeping the course.
Well done, wisdom. I've yet to reach that point but Rome wasn't built in a day, consolingly.

As seen recently on Falsebook.
Person: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?
Me: Awfully bold of you to assume I've peaked.
I qualify!
