Don't forget the Ford F150 on it's side. My uncle called me when he was crawling back to Wasilla.

These 'tards are everywhere. I was driving on a sheet of ice on the highway a few weeks ago, and someone was right on my bumper and then passed me while yacking on their cell phone. A few miles up the road they hit the guardrail. This was in the mountains of California, by the way.

I heard about the big rig. that was gone by 1930. Just surprised me how many SUV were on their sides roofs I mean you have to be going over 40 mph and on that road after fresh powder one might as well put on skates.......... Escalade goes in for the score and oops!

This is the very reason I refuse to work in Anc while living out here. Way too many people that don't have any clue on how to drive on snow and ice, and most of those have a hard time when it's dry.

Currently I'm teaching a couple sociology classes online for a college in Idaho (while living in Oregon and thinking about moving to Alaska.) Today it's pretty stormy here and while others have to face ugly roads I'm sitting here in my polar fleece pajamas writing a test. Yeah, I definitely prefer tele-commute to ice skating!
