Stood Behind
It was a eye-opener this morning from that super-fine sleet which was coming down and creating road hazards.  Unfortunately I didn't let my car get warmed up before driving off, which caused me all the more work to keep it from freezing on my windsh … continue reading

Out of that Storm’s Path

Out of that Storm’s Path
It was quite the whirlwind day, and I dare say I was out of my office more than in to the point where I don't think the engine of my vehicle ever had time to cool off.  Of course the first thing I had to do was get that light snow swept off the side … continue reading
