I stopped at the red light but then took off like a stop sign, relized as I did that it was a stop light and not a stop sign. So lucky no cars were close around. Was thinking of something and just spaced out what I was doing.

First time, getting caught in hail/wind/driving rain storm on I-24 today.

2nd time, learning this afternoon that I got out of Murfreesboro just before a major twister (same storm system above) tore thru town. Sadly, 2 dead, at least 1 in critical condition, but mostly lots of property damage with most folks grateful to be alive.

I've been watching the news and glad to see you posting.

Having 2 Mormon Missionaries come to the house and invite me to a Luau...with hub and son standing there. Quite the unique experience.

Having finished up various errands as the snow started falling, I was all set to show up at the dispatch office ready to start work. The streets were just starting to get a little slick, but slow 'n' steady seemed to be safe enough. Less than 1/2 mi to the office, one of those big long Jaguars pulls out onto the street & begins fishtailing, over-correcting, & swerving more & more out of control; I'm watching this slow motion ice ballet, when I realize this idiot's not gonna save it, in fact he's sliding sideways uphill &
heading right at me!
Fortunately, all this was developing slowly enough for to gently pick up the pace & get out of Shit4brain's way just in time...I check to rearview to make sure the danger is passed, & the dumbass has decided, since he's already headed that way, to follow me down the hill.

I decided right there that I had probably used up any good luck I had coming for one day, & I should just turn it around at the first opportunity & stay safe at home. I knew that my driving skills would not be enough to overcome the collective power of all the dumbass drivers that come out to play hell every time Gnashville gets a little snow & ice.

Thank heavens he didn't hit you, Scotz!

Actually, looking back, I prolly shoulda let him hit me. Judging from the MSRP of his vehicle, I missed a good opportunity to let his insurance buy me a new van. God knows, with 94K miles & a noisy power steering pump ready to kick the bucket, I could use a new one...

Meh, just as well...it would have been just one of 100's of accident reports filed that day, & I'd prolly still be out a van (& my 2nd largest income source)...
