TheBanyanTree: Holy Mother of God!

[Sachet]

I was driving home from Asheville this afternoon and I drove right into 
a storm. Drivers are slowing down, going 35 in the 60mph zone and I am 
muttering "Really?!? You're going this slow and you're in a CAR?!?!? 
With a windshield?!?! And wipers and everything?!?!"

Evidently, I am now a bike vs. cage snob. <g>

J/K! Next time I go someplace later in the evening, I am taking my car. 
I can joyride at night under more safe conditions.

I can't imagine riding in a snow or ice storm like you, Larry and Ra. 
That would be beyond intimidating.
