It was actually one of the worst commutes I have ever had.

  1. I am glad you made it home. I have had a few harrowing commutes myself. Here in Oklahoma, we are cold and no snow or ice, yet.

  5. I grew up and lived in California until I was 55. I'm afraid to go out and drive in the snow or ice now that I live up north. - Margy
