    I always think it's funny when cars fly by you and then you see them in the ditch 15 minutes later!

    I have seen that happen a lot more with tailgaters vs people who allow plenty of stopping distance. It is their nature to turn right or left as opposed to hitting the car in front of them.

    Or people cutting in front of you because you increased your following distance... that bugs me most.

    Had this happen today with a guy driving a Vue that thought it was a good idea to weave in and out of lanes that were invisible on I35 through Ankeny. I'm sure he got to work a full 30 or 40 seconds earlier while he put everyone's lives in danger.

    Yeah, I'm an inbetweener anyway! My big thing is that people's vehicles handle snow differently.

    I had one of my classes canceled today via a sign on the door. Thanks for making an effort to email the class.

    I had that happen one time - when I lived in Friley and the class was in East Hall. First class of the day, of course, meaning I could have just gone back to bed after checking email
