There are a lot of people who just don't make good decisions. Last week
we had a bad winter storm with two days of freezing rain. Streets and
sidewalks were a mess. On the news they were interviewing a woman who
was out walking her dog down the middle of a road. She said that the dog
wanted to go for a walk and the sidewalk was too slippery so she was
walking on the road. It didn't make a lot of sense to me to be walking
on slippery ice covered roads where there are big heavy vehicles that
are slipping and sliding around.
