Friday 55: First Snow


Here it comes - the first snow of the season!
After many cold days (and a bit of teasin’)
It quickly falls down, without a rhyme nor reason


And when that happen it’s the same old jive:
Everyone (else) has forgotten how to drive!
I grip the wheel and pray I make it home alive!

    Just getting ready to brave some slippery roads myself, so I'll be doing some wheel-gripping myself!

    Loved your 55, Eric!

    Truer words, man. Around here one flake(or raindrop, for that matter) falls out of the sky and suddenly the bar-ditches fill up with fancy pick-up's and SUV's. The farmers tend to do all right, though. Great 55.

    Tell me about it! But then, my little truck needs new studded snow tires. I got stuck today by making the mistake of pulling into a parking spot with a tiny bit of a slant to it. What a pain.

    Boy do I know how that feels! This year is the first time I have driven in snow since 1997. I could have waited the rest of my life, but the weather had other ideas!

    LOL! We complain the same about drivers here in the rain. Seems any weather change causes immediate stupidity on the roads.

    Funny and scary at the same time. Did you walk the heart...because it is pretty symmetrical.?
