The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...

Makes sense. I would think it would hold a LOT of 'part of people'.
I have put a mustang in a ditch due to small amount of water on a road but I would certainly expect a Villager to be more surefooted. I drive an '88 Towncar. Not sexy but it laughs at snow and ice. I might lose control but it has so much mass that I know it will be still traveling in the same general direction when I get it stable again. I love a good snow because I can take all the corners sideways :D

I got this reply from the blood bank...

"No need to apologize...this is a common error! Thanks for being a blood donor....we really appreciate your help."

[Corin Stormhands]

Cool, another thespian. ;-)

Happy Birthday to your son!

Christmas Greetings from NC:

[trini]

What did you just call me???!!! ;-)

[RMDupree]

((((Rosie))))

You are in no way an idiot. That was pretty flippin' scary and I don't blame you one bit for going into "just-wanna-get-to-work" mode!

I am so happy you are safe!

[Corin Stormhands]

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

[JenB]

Oh, no, Rosie!

I think in the circumstances, you did as well as could be expected. I am so glad the tire is ok - I popped one off a rim once. Didn't lose control, but not fun.

It sounds like a horrible experience. It also sounds like Someone was watching out for you - no other car, you didn't get hurt, you didn't have any visible damage...

[RosieCotton]

Yeah, I think I had someone protecting me, for sure!

But I also think I'm gonna be a little paranoid about driving for awhile. Maybe that's a good thing, though. This first part of the winter - when it's still fairly warm and therefore wet - is the most dangerous time of the year for driving. When it's really cold, it's usually really dry, even when (if) we get snow.

I also should bake brownies or cookies for the maintenance guy who mounted my tire on the rim for me. Seriesly! I owe him big time!

[RosieCotton]

I've never had trouble in snow before! Which is why I think the tire musta come off.

Gonna be awhile before I trust it again!

[RosieCotton]

Thanks, Ruthy!

[Lil'freeper]

But all's well that ends well!

Omigoodness! Glad you're ok!!!

[SuziQ]

If it's not one thing, it's another. Looks like the forces of darkness are trying to crowd in on you and Steve as you make the run up to the end of his Master's work. I'll keep you both in my prayers.

[2Jedismom]

Yep. Makes me wonder what's in store...the Devil sure is trying to make things hard on us!

[SuziQ]

I'm so glad you weren't hurt!! Been there and done that! Did a 180 on a slippery road in my big van once. Thankfully there were no cars coming from the opposite direction because I couldn't have done anything about it if I'd wanted to!

I've ruined two tires this year from riding too long on them when they were flat. I didn't realize I'd picked up junk and punctured them, and the roads were so bad I couldn't tell they were flat!

Bake some cookies or breads for those folks; they love it!

[HairOfTheDog]

Jeepers ladies, it's just a broken spring!

Just ~maybe~ God is trying to ensure sustenance for the spring-makers!

Or, just maybe, springs wear out.

[TalonDJ]

I think they are talking about more things than the spring. "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action."

[HairOfTheDog]

I know.... but it seems like pretty measley work for the devil, to be wreaking his vengeanc on a garage door spring in Tulsa Oklahoma. I picture him having more power, and more important work to do than that!

[ecurbh]

Wowowow Rosie! Glad you (and apparently the car) are both OK. What a scary experience.

[HairOfTheDog]

vengeanc = vengeance
