Decisions

I have spent an hour trying to decide whether to go out and get the mail.  I drive the car up to the mailboxes and the driveway and road is covered with a coating of thick ice.  I had to be very careful this morning when I walked out on the deck to get the newpaper.  It was very icy and slick.  Was glad to be back in the house safely.  We also have thick fog.  Can just see across the neighbor's yard and that is about it.  It is supposed to stay till tomorrow.  Praying all my kids get safely to work and back.  There were many car accidents yesterday and also semis on the freeway.

You won't believe this one

I read in the paper this morning that they are considering giving deer contraceptives in Iowa to cut down on the deer population. Of course, they haven't figured out yet how they are going to get them to the deer. Why not have a couple of extra hunting seasons. That would take care of it and those who love deer meat would be very pleased. It would be better to cut down the deer population than have it cut down by cars. Many people are killed every year in Iowa and much property damage to their vehicles because of hitting deer on the road. You even get a ticket if you dodge the deer and go in the ditch. Then they say you don't have your vehicle under control. Can you believe that? It's true. I remember reading just a couple years ago that 10,000 deer were killed on I-35 in Iowa alone. This is ridiculous.

Wind & snw

We got 4" of snow overnight and looks like we could get another 4-5" tomorrow. Winter has really set in now and drivers need to slow down. Too many accidents and cars & trucks in the ditches.
