Slushy

It is slushy tonight. Flights were cancelled and many diverted away from us. And no, we don't close for snow. Snow brings business. Customers want Suv's, one way rentals because their flight is cancelled, and people want insurance in case they wreck the car.

I had one worker at the airport informing me that it is very slippery outside and I should stay at a hotel across the airport instead of going home. Yeah, I live less than a mile from the airport and driven home in blizzards before. I think I can handle driving home on roads that will surely be plowed by the time I leave. I did manage getting the heavy and wet snow off my car and stopped to get gas.

I did take another route home though. My old route is dark and curvy without shoulders in some places. I took a straighter route that is more lit with a shoulder. I much rather slide into a curb than into a ditch. The hard part was the unplowed apartment parking lot. I stomped on the accelerator to make the low traction function kick in. I steered into a spot and walked to the door. The snow reached my ankles. I feel sorry for the people shoveling their sidewalks by hand tomorrow. Post later. Bye!
