January 17

Pet Peeve of the Day:

People that don't understand that my little car does not take off immediately on snow & ice.  I have a 2000 Mazda Protege, and while it is a good little car, it really does not like to get going when there is a hint of snow or ice on the roads.  The tires spin, it goes nowhere, and I pray that it will somehow get an ounce of traction so it moves in a forward direction.  People don't seem to understand this.  I was making a turn a few days ago, and I admit it, I was going totally slow, but I could not get traction.  The car behind me was beeping and doing the hand "what the F are you doing" wave.  Ugh.  Embarrassingly, I got a bit of road rage after that episode and followed too closely down the highway (I ended up following all the way from Plymouth to St. Michael on that one!).  I try not to do road rage-y things with my l'il fish symbol on the back of my car, it just doesn't show a good example.  That fish has saved me a few really dumb moves.

Anyway, people, be patient!  I am going, I know that I am not going, I am trying to get going, just give me time!
