    It decided to snow a good 4 inches overnight. It is still snowing a little bit but just flurries. So now we've got road salt everywhere that refroze overnight, and 4 inches of snow on top of all of it..... Great..

    US 59 in Mo/AR near the line.
    Tip, don’t take Missouri OO.
    Even if empty.
    Missouri H, through the town of Noel sucks too, 59 starts to suck around Noel, gets a little better after an hour or so.
    Might be better in daylight conditions, but I doubt it.

    That's funny.
    Hope it's not the same gal now who was enticing us drivers in the mid 70s.
    Because they are still on the radio..lol

    I was in my car driving to work in Baltimore one fine early morning. Kind of cold out.

    I see three young ladies huddled together on the street corner, thumbing for a ride. As I said, it was cold, and they were not properly dressed for the weather.

    I pull up to them.

    "Hey, where are ya going?" I say.

    "Where are YOU going?"

    "Up off of Patapsco to work. If it's not too far, I can give y'all a lift."

    "What do you WANT?" she says, with a bit of attitude.

    "What do I want? YOU'RE the one thumbing for a ride."

    We lock eyes, no one speaks.

    Finally, as we used to say back east, "Dawn breaks over Marblehead".

    "You're not REALLY hitchhiking, are you?"

    She smiles. "No, hon, we're not."

    I smile. "I'm a moron".

    She cracks up laughing, gives the door two slaps and gives me a wave, and off I go.
