Today's dilema, while a bit mundane, illustrates the choices we have to make, while considering safety to ourselves and others.
Do I go to work today?
With the economy sputtering along, I was thrilled to have work scheduled this week. Then the storm hit.
Oh, it's not bad as storms go ... a couple inches of snow atop a film of ice, a town completely without snow removal equipment, a cloudy sky keeping the ice on the pavement ... and a truck that handles very, very poorly in slippery conditions.
At this instant, at 7 degrees, I'd probably get good traction. Give it a few hours to get up to 35, though ...
Yesterday was a day of continual accidents; the radio suggests today will be more of the same. It seems some of the fools made it through yesterday, and haven't had the fear of God scared into them ... yet.
Sure, lots of folks are muddling through. I am lucky enough to have a choice. I won't nelp anyone if I get in a wreck.
