bcredliner is on a distinguished road
I have PTSD from living in cold country. I have flashbacks about a place where drivers are good at driving on snow and ice. I am driving down a two lane country road with ditches and trees on both sides. I am blinded by the snow. There are no tracks in the road to follow. Ice is frozen to the wiper blades, clearing only a small semi circle. Someone is coming at me with their brights on. I am very very cold. I can't stop shivering. There is a big hole in the floor. The heater is full blast but it doesn't make a difference. I have 100 miles to go. Snow is coming through the hole and hitting me in the face. It makes me lose my breath. I can't feel my fingers or toes. There is never enough I can wear to keep the wind from going through me. It is black and white and my sense is this is the best it is going to be for a very long time. In spite of all this there is a shiver of optimism because I know people know how to drive in the ice and snow.
