How many Freepers would have slept overnight in their cars, temps in the 20’s, rather than walk less than a mile home?
“How many Freepers would have slept overnight in their cars, temps in the 20’s, rather than walk less than a mile home?”
Less than zero. Sub-zero, you might say.
(Unless they’re infirm.)
Tough call considering 62 years old, worsening conditions and possibility of getting hit by a car in the darkness. It really depends on the exact circumstances. I assume she did have gas to keep the engine and heater running? Was it one mile level and direct or up and down with lots of intersections, etc. I am not infirm nor slowed by my age all that much and have had situations in the mountains where I wasn't going to be covering 100 feet, much less 5,280. And I am a skier and off-roader.
How many interviews of Freepers would actually make it to the pages of the New York Times?
