ice is evil.
freeking evil.
I bailed for home just before 5:00 last night (with homework) ...
Hit the brakes to turn on our township road -- started sliding ... oops #1.
Slowly negotiated a roundhouse corner onto the mini hill at our mailbox ... fishtailed and slid into the opposite bank -- dang near didn't make it.
Got straightened out and took a run at the big hill -- in 4WD ...
Started skidding 3/4 of the way up and bounced off the outside bank ... but made it up ...
Slid past the driveway apron at the house -- had to back up (on glare ice) ... oops #2
after 2 attempts -- made it into the garage stall -- mirrors still attached.
and elder #1 says to me --- "it wasn't that bad 15 minutes ago when I came home" ... really dude --- somehow I find that hard to believe.
The inbound this morning was totally uneventful. Thankfully.
On with the day/week/life.
Stay smart - stay safe.
