Interesting night last night.

Another young lady wiped out on the road in front of my house just before midnight. She was shaken up, not hurt physically. Obviously driving way, way too fast for conditions (fine wet snow on pavement in dropping temps, becoming ice). This time, local EMTs and Fire personnel responded ... idling trucks and flashing red lights for about an hour and a half. Who needs sleep?

I’m tempted to make a hand-made sign that I can place out by the road when conditions deteriorate. “ICY ROADWAY - SLOW DOWN” or something similar.

People that drive too fast in that kind of weather don’t read no stinkin signs. I know several of them.

I had the urge to do it in drippy blood-red paint.
