After further review....

Hope nobody here thought I was being too flippant about the winter storm we’re all facing this week.

I remember all too well the time ‘way down in South Texas when I was a snot-nosed kid sitting by an intersection during a winter storm and being amused by the near panic a quarter inch of sloppy wet snow was bringing into the lives of those nice old Texas folks.

Gee, I was from Colorado, I’d been driving in snow and ice for all of five or six years and wasn’t I special watching someone entirely new to that game going through some of the same anguish I’d suffered but just had completely forgotten.

Please forgive me y’all. For being a smarta$$ fifty years ago and the other day.

Just remember to take your time on snow/ice, dress in layers to deal with the low temperatures and, most important, be good neighbors to everyone around you and remember them all in your prayers.

You never know when the rotten old SOB down the road will suddenly be inspired to use that truck and tow chain to haul you out of the ditch, you might just help him out by sharing a meal when his house goes dark and cold and some snotty kid from out of state might get a clue in his old age.

Merry Christmas to all of you and don’t sweat the storm. You’re in good hands.
