Well we left Abilene Texas this morning and about an hour out of there.. Mel proved once again.. He is good at driving on the shoulder! This accident also happened in front of us.. 3 semi's and 2 cars ahead of us.. I think.. the semi clipped the pick-up.. and didn't leave much and then the semi went onto his side and did a 180.. facing the east bound traffic.. laying on its side. Not sure of the outcome of the people.. but from the looks of what was left of the pick-up.. (s)he didn't make it. So Kelley said we ought to drive 3 days then stay off the road for the next couple of days. I told Mel one more and we are going to stick the car and rv on a train and we will fly to South Carolina and pick it up. This is WAY more action then I would EVER want again in my life. And I think I need to fit Jaxe with a 5 point harnes.. maybe Mel also.. I hate it .. when I see the brake lights go on.. and he heads for the shoulder. I am thankful.. both times.. it was a full lane shoulder and not the little 2 foot shoulder with the hill going into the median. ugh.. Please God.. no more....
Okay.. we
woke up to snow this morning.. Jaxe and Mel didn't want to get out of bed.. I have to admit.. I had to think about it also! I didn't want to leave from under the fur... But I got up.. took Jaxe out and well got ready to get things to go.
Tonight on the news out of DFW (Dallas, Fort Worth) they were talking about the BIG news of the snow.. they are hoping they don't have a bad winter last year of 2.5 inches for the year. Mel and I are like.. what..... We had what 97 inches last year in Spokane. Ugh.. anyway they were glad they didn't have to take a "Snow Day" today. I can only say... sad.
