Morning drive
The drive to work was a bit more exciting than I cared for. Bixby road is patchy - some dry pavement, some packed snow or ice. That isn't bad, really. But there was a drift across an icy area and that messes things up. It had messed someone else up, as evidenced by the small red hatchback that had slid off the road and was aimed the wrong way 'round. And that wasn't visible as soon as I'd have liked so I couldn't gently lose some speed first. So I jammed the clutch down, hit and plowed through the drift, emerged and steered like mad - and managed to keep the car pointing on average in the right direction, though it was rather wobbly about it for a second or two. I think I'll take a different route home.
Friday Five?
Not doing it. But when did it become the Friday Twenty-Five?
COLT
I only have two more issues of the Looney Tunes comic to finish in order to complete 2003. And I have one of those nearly done. I expect to finish it tonight. I might just finish the 2003 issues before 2004, but I wouldn't place any bets just yet. Even if not, hey, I'm ahead of my schedule.
