Icy roads prevail

When I spoke with a cp'er early this a.m., she told me Dallas schools and roads were closed. As I drove to Dallas, the roads were fine, except occasionally there were tractor trailers toppled into the center strip, usually on their sides or snuggled closely with another trailer.

Until 7:00 came, and I was almost to Fort Worth. I began to see flashing blue and red lights, tail lights too. Coming over the rise, I feel my truck flirt with the edge of the road, but for such a short time I would have thought I was imagining it except there were vehicle carcasses on the shoulder in the middle of the highway.

As I proceeded slowly with my emergency blinkers on, cars and trucks sped past me to slam into each other a few yards up the road.

Once again, I’m forced to go to a hotel – why are people so crazy, making the roads so dangerous, as if they’re not dangerous enough. grrrrr

Tomorrow 8:00a.m. Joe and 11:00a.m. Jeb - then off to Shreveport LA - providing weather permitting!
