    Yesterday morning when the cold snap first moved in I spent a half hour in the shop getting trailer brakes working thay wouldn’t apply due to ice in the lines.

    OK, so there's "No-Fault" states, like Minnesota, when it comes to insurance claims. That means your insurance pays for your damage, and Other Guy's insurance pays for his, unless there's a clear-cut case of negligence or some such.

    "Find-Fault" states are where the insurance company of the at-fault driver pays up. That's why you find so many citations in AZ even in single-vehicle accidents--someone's gotta get the blame. I love AZ, but that's one of the very few things I'd change about it.

    I almost hit a ####ing Prius today. I-71 near Cinci and there are concrete barriers on each side as its a construction zone. 60mph speed limit. Prius takes an exit and comes to a stop on the exit ramp as traffic is backed up. Decides they don't want to wait and so they take a nice hard left turn across the chevrons and a snow pile and come right into my lane, the right lane doing about 5mph. I'm doing about 58 at that moment. I had no idea this truck could turn that fast and not flip. How I didn't hit that #### Prius I don't know but I called safety and cursed like hell and told him get their ####ing license plate I want to file ####ing charges. Had someone been on the side of me in that bumper to bumper traffic I would have had to pick who I was going to kill. He told me to calm down and that our cameras can't read license plates so just relax.

    Man that pissed me off.
