Women Drivers and Snow! UGH!
|
|||||||||||||||

Everybody is reminded to take extra caution with the snow and ice-covered roads. But sometimes I wonder if being over-cautious may cause more traffic accidents, and maybe more road rage.
I can appreciate people taking more caution and driving slower. Recently, after the first real snow storm of the year, as I drove 50 miles an hour down Old Kawkawlin . . . . (Laff, just kidding) I felt my blood pressure rise as I toggled behind 'these maybe too cautious drivers.' And may I dare to say, most of them seem to be women. I always try to guess what type of driver is ahead of me before I get around them, and 9 times out of 10 I am right and it's a female driver, the other times, maybe elder drivers (bless their heart) :)
As I was about to come into the category of a road rage driver and lose my patience, I stopped at a street light, and I noticed two little kids, making snow angels in their yard, laughing and having fun.
As to which at this point, I felt my blood pressure drop immediately and felt a sense of relief and joy at the beauty of the snow and this time of year.
Although it may be a pain in the butt sometimes, it (snow) is another reminder of one of God's beauties of nature.
So I thought I would make a list of positive things about the snow and winter time.

I think it's spelled "Mosquitoes" (yes, I had to look it up).
Also, you mentioned that snow is a great time of year for photographers ~ you always have great photos with your articles; you should post a lovely winter photo! |
