Re: the previous post, this is what happened...
Daniel and Jeff went to Barnes and Noble. It had just started snowing when they left to come home, so the roads were slick.
Daniel drove around a corner, and the wheels turned, but the car slid into a curb, messing up the suspension. Jeff calls at about 11:30pm and I knew, just knew, that there was some kind of mishap.
Thing is, I asked them not to go because they'd been saying on the news all day that the roads were going to be icy after dark.
Jeff tried to call Dean, but the line was busy (c'mon, the guy's a doctor, he's bound to be getting calls late at night). I called Dean and told him what happened, and he ended going all the way out there to fetch them.
And apparently, Dean tore them both new ones, because they weren't in a great mood when they got home.
Daniel spent most of yesterday morning on the phone with his insurance company, arranging to get the car fixed. I had to take him all the way out to where he had left the car to give the spare key to the wrecker driver, then take him to work.
It doesn't snow like this in Oklahoma City as a rule. So people don't know how to drive in snow. There were some people who were driving fast (and not all were in 4 wheel drive vehicles). What really got me is that the mall was open, McDonald's was open, and people actually braved the elements so they could get their shopping done.
Jeff's work was closed yesterday, but it was his day off, so it wasn't like he got a snow day. Which kinda ticked him off...

Lots of places are closed today, too. The storm that brought this stuff is up near Chicago now. But damn, it's cold!

Another 4 day weekend... how lucky can one guy be :)
That's all from where I sit.
