Yes Jethro... my wife convinced me to go fetch our two early twentysomethings who are going to the UofA and Macewan University. While driving, in my mind I was thinking nobody came and fetched me when I was trying to get home for Christmas at that age. I do remember one particularly nasty trip in my Honda Civic back around '89 or so where my wife and I had to bunk in for the night in Meadow Lake because they ended up closing the roads.

How do people get that ugly weather driving experience if they have a chauffer?

And my wife demanded we put studded tires on her Focus so she would be safer in the city.

Anyway, I needed to pick up a few things... and did pop by a leather store while I was in, but driving in the city was ugly! With me on my shop most everyday, I hardly drive much these days.

I feel like I am a pretty good winter storm driver... many years in Manitoba as a tv cameraman commuting daily between Portage la Prairie and Winnipeg. Arguably can be one of the stupidest stretches of winter road in the country. This was before everyone had AWD Sport Utes like we do now.

Last night as soon as got home I self-administered two fingers of calming amber medicine

I went to Grant MacEwan when twas a college in 84. I drove home weekends to see the boss too. I hate winter driving. Nice to have the young uns home for the holiday, though.
