Wife and kiddo came along (cabin fever, plus the added bonus of lunch!), highways were fine except for the brave souls pokin' along the interstate doin 15mph (not a typo). Side/back streets weren't too bad, the main roads had well-defined paths and a lot of ice-melt puddles (temps were in the 70's-80's earlier this week, so the ground is still pretty warm). Taking corners was fun, and there was a bit of adventure when the icepack on the roof of the truck decided to finally succumb to the internal temps and let loose, sliding down over the windshield as we approached a red light. Got stopped, hit the flashers (nobody was behind us, but why take chances?), and spent a green-light cycle removing large, 1.5" thick sheets of ice from the windshield. I look at that sort of thing as "adventure". My wife looks at it as "disaster/stress/OMGWeNearlyDied" (tm). Opposites attract, I guess.RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938438889241366279.post-58962842299940959482013-12-06T18:45:22.890-08:002013-12-06T18:45:22.890-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938438889241366279.post-48900695100884042692013-12-06T08:56:42.860-08:002013-12-06T08:56:42.860-08:00Take care!Take care!ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938438889241366279.post-78234481882951850042013-12-06T08:55:39.808-08:002013-12-06T08:55:39.808-08:00In theory.

The DFW area is pretty much shut down. I live two blocks away from a major highway, and can usually hear it from my back yard. Nada today.
