Posted by Don-Wi on December 26, 2009 at 09:04:20 from (75.206.182.229):

On our way home last night, we came upon a car that lost it in the roundabout that was iced up, and a bunch of other passer-by's had stopped to lend a hand. I figured since it was Christmas I'd stop as well to see if one more guy would be able to get it out of the snow.

We tried, but that car wasn't going anywhere. Seemed like once he planted it in the snow, he put it in reverse and tried to punch it, instead of stopping then and there to start digging out. That's when he said wat kinda ruined my whole good will to help him.

" I was only going about 20 MPH..." To me that says that he was going way to fast in the roundabout in the first place, as you're only supposed to do about 15 on a clear day. Seemed like he had more money than common sense. He got back in his car, called up a friend who he thought owed him a favor. His friend said no and gave him a number for a wrecker. I gave him another number I had on my phone for a guy I use, and went on my way as the wind was picking up and it was getting pretty bad out. The whole time the guy was b!tching up a storm about the roundabouts too. I kinda like them as they're really easy to use and traffic actually flows pretty well in them.

I know there was probably more I could have done, but when he said how fast he was going, it just kinda put me off and made me want to get home. On a much gentler corner on our way I noticed I was slowed down to about 15 for that one, (a mini-van was lanched into the bank on that one too) and I could still feel it wanted to let go. I think I did about 10 MPH in that roundabout.....

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
