At 16 I drove non-stop from Palmdale California to Green Bay Wisconsin to visit my cousin and trade some car/truck parts.
Hit snow just west of Salt Lake City and drove through a screaming blizzard all the way to Green Bay.
Took 27 hours with just coffee and fuel stops.
Thought nothing of it, just counted cars and semis that were in the roadside ditches all the way out.
Most (not all) kids today are just pussies!
Sadly, that’s true. And most of it is because their parents didn’t love them enough to prepare them for life by letting them fail and suffer the consequences appropriate to their age as they matured. The hard/painful knocks of life can wise even the semi-stupid up pretty fast.
