Driving In The Snow
A newspaper report in Alberta, Canada noted the fact that
people, up there, had to remember that driving in the snow
was different from Summer driving......Things have not
changed......
Why is it that people, driving a ton of steel, think they
can control a vehicle on snow and ice?.......Let's face it,
they did not take their driving test on it.......
Seems that each generation produces a "stupid batch
of newbies" that "know better" than anyone else......Even
after they slide off the road and it costs $100 to get towed
out they will contend that they "did know" how to drive
in the snow......It was the "other guy's" fault that caused
"their" problem......
It becomes evident that "snow driving" is a good metaphor
for other life's issues.......Pumps
