Crusing down I-78 about 11PM in the Midget (on way home from Dentist -
Wow I have clean teeth in great pain) Started to snow, one of those snows
that when driving it is better to have the headlights off because the
flakes are so big and so thick all you can see is a white wall. The Da*$
truckers decide that is a good time to see if their headlights will glare
directly into the mirror of a Midget that is 2 feet in front of them
(they do). As well as attempt to determine if a Midget can be buried in
the amount of snow blowing off the drive wheels as thay pass at 8000 MPH
on a VERY slick concrete hiway. (Not quite - but almost) Drove about 30
miles in that mess, took an hour - on the Interstate!!
Death Ray - Naw too good for them
