no unnecessary travel I check the road advisories: "No unnecessary travel" it says. Not surprising. The interstate is closed, so the secondary highways aren't likely to be much better. For me, that would be enough. I rarely consider a meeting to be "necessary". But just to be sure, I call one of my wardens. Craaap, they're already 30 miles down that nearly-closed highway. "It's fine." "It's just blowing snow." And true enough, the roadbed was cold and dry. The only hazard the wind and blowing snow. Two hours of this: As I near Home on the Range, I spy these: and have to wonder... On days like this, during winters like this, do you think any of those "wild" horses would be willing to trade a lifetime of freedom for a shed, a blanket, and all the hay you could want every day? The drive home? Not much different. Except for the long, icy patches. And drifts creeping in on the road. |
