I had an exciting time yesterday, sliding into a snowbank in the car. I had waited until there was no traffic (because I am cautious in generally coming from the small road to the highway, and the visibility is not awesome at this intersection), and I was turning and going about 5 mph when I hit a patch of particularly icy ice. My turn seemed wrong, and I applied cautious applications of brake and gas in turn, wiggled the wheel, and thought 'hmm!' while I drifted inevitably into a snowbank at a 90 degree angle to the road. I had time to realize that there were several other indents in this same snowbank where other vehicles had done the same, before pff! I was in the snowbank. The airbag didn't go off, and I was able to pull right out of it without any trouble, no damage done. Still, it sort of rattles you to have absolutely NO control of a moving station wagon in the middle of a highway.
Worked more on the Storybook piece, but haven't scanned it yet.
Have just a little more work to do at work (2 reports) and a quick trip to OfficeMax, and an afternoon with just four orders to get out (and on replacement purse flap), and maybe some more art time.
