Back in the 60s there was a notorious underpass in downtown Tucson that flooding with every big rain. People were always driving into it and drowning. I called it the gene pool reducer. Grew up with a bunch of those in Houston. Had a friend drive his newly restored Volvo P1800 into an underground garage at his apartment. Barely got out. But probably a half dozen people drown on Houston streets every year. I remember that happening every time it rained hard in Houston. I recall problems with flooding on Memorial Drive and the Allen Parkway. People would drive straight into 8 feet of water. Crazy.

There are only 3 stoplights in downtown Ogallala. We think the traffic is bad if we are backed up 3 cars at a light. One of the many reasons I like that town.

Saw the I-80 in Nebraska, and the trucks jacknifed.
I just don’t get it… a person has the ability to get weather reports, you know a blizzard is coming in….. crack the wallet and get a hotel for a few days, if you really want to be cheap, park at a truck stop.

This happens EVERY year on I-80. Regular as clockwork.

As someone who has never to my knowledge driven on I-80, I disclaim all responsibility.

I've had ice storms hit with no warning. Driving through Austin one day it went from sunny and cold to black ice in almost no time.

Well these guys did not have that excuse… maybe it is an excuse if they never pay attention to the weather… but I call that a weak excuse. I recently watched a big rig towing company show based in Ontario, the complete freeway was shut down by trucks in deep snow, not a single truck that I saw towed had any chains on. A lot of “steering wheel holders” out there.

Our red lights are only on Hwy 59 where it goes through town. Big rigs support our police department.

Had a good ride on this trip.... Watched the sun rise in Sedona over a cup of coffee on the patio with a patient yesterday. Rolled down the "Forrest Gump" highway mid-day, Navajo nation. Watched the sunset on the Hopi res, as I figured out I forgot my tobacco. I did have a bag of red man chew...housekeeping at the Hopi Cultural center/ Hotel must have thought what the hell is this when they looked in the garbage can. (It had a liner, no housekeeping staff was endangered on this episode)

I'm sure that is sad for the people who are affected. I held one once.

Glock, Kalashnikov, Browning, Saive, Colt, Stoner have had as much influence on human civilization as they have on human depravity.

He was pretty brilliant, and although the Glock never fit my hand well, it does for many others. And the torture tests are impressive, the pistol is tough!

Nice to have co-operative weather, John...hard to beat that at this time of year! We’ve been having a mild winter so far in Michigan. My sister said they woke to an inch of snow today. My nephew and his family live on country roads lined with very deep ditches. Normally, I’d scoff at an inch of snow, but any slipperiness on those roads is a bit white knuckle.

I hear you bro...our trucks look invincible, 10 wheelers with all the options, but once you get on dirt and powder snow it can get dicey.
