Partly Cloudy with a chance of Snow

Snow possibilities drive us to shop.  It seemed like a hurricane preparedness day at Rouse's yesterday.
There were no buggies and all of the check out lines were long.

Fortunately, I had only seven items, and I was able to carry them all in the bag that I brought into the store. I was able to use the "sort of" express lane. In New Orleans we get lots of bread, potted meats, and alcohol to fortify us during and after a storm.  I was buying apples, kale, bananas, broccoli, cheese, cannelloni beans, and rigatoni.

I vacated my front row spot and there were four cars waiting to snatch it.  I drove home admiring my quick egress. Tomorrow will be another story.

Driving after a sleet might be fun to watch.  We do not understand ice driving.  I believe that we could start a new winter Olympic event, "Cajun Ice Driving."

We can navigate with a cup of coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other, while talking on our cell phones. Or we can navigate with a cocktail in one hand, a cigarette in the other, and talk on our cell phones! Yes, we do drink and drive,  I imagine that we have more accidents than those areas that do not provide drive up, and drive-through daiquiri shops.

But, God forbid we might be careful and know how to react when there is patch of black ice!
