Happy Friday to everyone out there.


I was going to leave early for work, but everyone on the news is saying its one of the worst traffic days in history out there. So many wrecks caused by black ice that they cant report all of them. :eek:

Oh well, hopefully I dont hit anything in the morning. The poor rental Focus cant take it.

it looks like i'll be going into work a little later...somebody just left here & called from the front of my apartment complex & said they got sideways just trying to pull out & that everybody is doing about 10 mph. if it was just me in the car, i'd be alright, but i'll have my daughter with me so i'm not going to risk it. besides, it'll take me 3 hours to get there if everybody is driving so slow! back to bed for me too :D

it is called being carefull. All the wrecks I saw on the way in this morning could have been avoided had the driver known how to drive on ice.(something most people in atlanta cannot do)

It is Atlanta, rain, sleet, snow and ice everyone forgets how to drive and freak. I was born and raised here and dont have a problem with any of it. Hell I love driving on ice and snow.

that does not count, that is to stay warm. But the rush on bread and milk that is another story. The only thing I go out to get is beer if I am gonna be held in for a day or so.

It should be. When I was pulling up the N.Druid exit this morning, i saw puddles rather than ice slicks.
