Tonight we're hit by an odd ice storm. It's supposed to be like 25 till noon tomorrow and not even get over 35.
Ryan and I chose poorly. We ran to a friend's house to play a little Texas hold 'em. 3 hours later Ryan's won the 50 bucks on the night. And we pack back into the old Escort Wagon with poker table and chips and start off on our 10 mile trip home. We're cruising along at our 20 MPH rate. We debate... do we take the outer road, or get on the highway? As we reach the on ramp our side of the road is clear so hit 30 on the highway and we're looking great. But in my rearview mirror I see an A-hole in a pick-up coming up quickly behind me.
For some reason people in 4 wheel drive think they have the bvest chance on ice. It's too bad they're wrong like this guy. I see him spin out behind me. I'm trucking along in my FWD Escort and it looks at first that we're at least clear of him... but as the idiot attempts to regain control of the car he slides in the pylons that seperate the two sides of the road. bounces off of it slides his car into the forward position but his car continues to know slide towards and he's about to bump the sides of our car (my drivers and his passenger)so I pull towards the off ramp. He's still sliding towards us so I pull off the road in to the grass and gun it. (Hoping and praying that we'll be able to get out. His truck also ends up behind us pulling into the ditch and I pull us back onto the off ramp and save our asses. The truck pulls himslef out and barrels back down the highway at a good 40 miles and hour.
Idiots.
Not that I expect people to have expirenece with snow and Ice in Texas but it's all the more reason they should stay off the road. (Like we should have in the first place.) As always... it's never us that I'm worried about, I'm not gonna make a mistake, it's the idiots around me I worry about.

I put together an Pod cast for the Christmas season and how much it sucks listening to Christmas music when it's single. But Jeff's server refuses my ftp deamands and at first glance even Jeff was unsure as to why. So the hope is next week I'll be able to upload it and you'll all enjoy it. Till then... I leave you with this...
It's got it's moments.
