Welcome to Minnesota!

Yesterday's blog was about the mud and how much I hate it. Well my friends, we're in Minnesota. Minnesota is where it snows in March and sometimes even in April. It should be no surprise to anyone that we got 6 inches of snow between last night and today. It's Minnesota, it happens. The fact that we have had snow for the past four months should mean that people know how to drive in it. But they don't. Our usual 25 minute drive this morning took an hour. There's no reason for it. Highway 55 was slow because people were gawking at the accident. Which the accident was caused by someone not paying attention and rear ending someone. News flash people, if it's slippery out don't ride someone's ass! Leave some room to stop in case you hit a patch of ice! If everyone just put their common sense hat on in the morning before leaving for work or school or wherever we would all be on time for where we need to be! Get off your phone, put down your paper and your coffee and just drive! When I went through driver's ed I don't remember missing a day but I must have, I never learned how to read or talk on the phone and drive. That's why I don't do it. If I do happen to be on the phone I am on my headset, with both hands in control and guess what, I'm paying more attention to the road than I am the person on the other end of the phone! That's probably why by the time I get to the drive through I can't remember if Troy told me hard or soft shell tacos! So tomorrow is another day. There will still be snow on the ground and it will still be Minnesota.
