As you have most likely heard Seattle got snow. Now when you are a kid this would be a great thing to have happen. But as we grow older we learn the truth about snow it “SUCKS”. When I left for work yesterday there was only a bit of snow left from the weekend not enough to crawl back into bed and call in to work. I get to work and when after about 2 hours look out the window and it is snowing and my car is already covered. I am only working a half day anyway and the company car has snow tires so no big thing. I finish a bit after noon and thought I would hang around and get some of my Christmas cards done. I left at about 1330hrs. I got no more then 4 blocks from work when I hit a patch of ice and went all over the rode. I ended up in the parking “G” came to rest just inches from several parked cars. Now I tried yelling at the car to stop and learned that really doesn’t work. I got out praying that there would be no damage or maybe a few scratches. No way would that happen. My rim broke in two places and of course the tire so flat it looked like my “G” was were Vietnam sandals. So there I am blocking the exit to the parking lot totally pissed off and knowing my “G” (car) has a lot of trouble on icy roads. At least my brother was home and could come and get me and I had a warm dry place to wait for him. Now to have my baby towed to a place to get a new tire and rim put on.Oh why can’t it be like it used to be when it snowed and your biggest problem was tying to find your gloves and hat?
