Yes we awoke to a kind of blizzard in Kansas. Been a rough day, and I don't feel well at all. Not really sick, a bit nausea, tired all the time, I mean, can't keep my eyes open tired, and having some funny feelings in my chest. I just don't feel quite right. Could be the weather like my husband says, it is a bit depressing to be on truck running through all this, and believe me I do not want to get out of the truck to take a shower! It is freezing! Winter is always hard, but then for me so is summer, it gets to hot I get sick. Maybe I am dehydrated again. Anyway, the wind is blowing like crazy, and we dropped our load in Texas hoping for warmer weather. No such luck! The wind cut right through you. Now we are headed to get our next load going to Pueblo, Co. not exactly warm weather. Oh well, just about 20 days to go before we get off this truck for our Christmas celebration with our daughter's and grandson's. Can't wait. Catch you all on the flip side. Later.
Black ice covered the interstate in Kansas, and we saw one accident after another. Most trucks and cars that passed us at a high rate of speed, we saw down the road in a ditch. This one was no exception, he passed us at a high rate of speed, crossed the medium, hitting on coming traffic and burst into flames. Such a tragedy for the families of the victims. My prayers are with those families. I pray all of you will slow down in such conditions. When the road is icy please understand, that going over 20mph is to fast for these conditions, so imagine this truck which seemed to be going at about 65mph. Once you loose control at that rate of speed you can not correct it. The slower the better, you have a higher chance of saving yourself, when you hit the ice it speeds you up. If you are going 55mph and you hit ice, you will speed up to about 75mph, if you go slower you will save lives and property damage. Please everyone be safe out there, don't worry about the people behind you, by slowing yourself down you protect those around you as well as yourself.
