Book - people out here in the boonies were on the news the other night talking about "city folk".

They come out to the country on the weekend and they have crashes, they said. It makes a lot of people nervous, they said, to be around city people who are out driving in the country because they don't know how to drive in the snow!

A while back, I was coming home from Portland (the city). These enormous SUVs driven by city people were zooming past me. There was snow on the road, so I kept my caddy to about 5 miles under the speed limit.

Yup. Eventually, I passed one of those SUVs in the ditch.

I can't drive in the city. Going 55 in a 35mph speed zone with one car on my front bumper and one on my back bumper on a single lane of blacktop the width of a winding walking path makes me go crazy! I get so nervous.

But I can make my car slide in the snow to point me in the direction that I want to go, he he he
