Last night on TV they started talking about the coming winter weather, and that there was a Winter Travel Advisory. Those 3 words sent a chill of panic down my back. Do I call in and say I can't drive the 25 miles miles to work ? Or am I just being a big baby and letting panic get the best of me? I do have to ponder this sometimes.
As I grow older the weatherman becomes my enemy. As a child he was my friend. Bad weather coming meant NO SCHOOL !!! YEA !! As a young adult, bad weather was a calling to go out adventure driving. Then my children came. Needing to be more responsible, I had to keep an ear on the weather. But now as I get older, the fear of going in the ditch or getting into a car accident occupy my thoughts more.
So my question is, are the winters different or is the fact I'm getting older the bigger factor? Have we had a few easy winters in MN, so we are soft ? I'm thinking it's me and I need to quit listening to the weather so much and just enjoy what God and Mother Nature have to dish out.
The big difference is that now you're driving narrow, hilly and curvy country roads at night!
ReplyDeleteThat would scare anybody. I worry about you when it's bad weather. I'm glad you have a cell phone with you in case you have a problem. But still,
drive carefully, my little girl!
