The temperature dropped and light flurries began. I went to the corner gas station for a cup of hot coffee. On my way into the store I spied a young college kid sitting Indian style on the cold pavement by the newsstands just outside the doors. He politely asked for any loose change I could spare. I gave him what I had--not much at all. Inside I was pouring my coffee into the cup when I overheard one of the employees say to the other, "There's some kid outside. I'm going to tell him to move on." I felt badly about their lack of sensitivity, especially in this cold weather. I redirected my attention to a sale rack of hats and gloves and grabbed a set for myself.purple for wisdom would do nicely, I thought.
The state work crews had placed signs out on I-35 at about the Hydraulic exit in the south part of the city warning of this accident. The state work crews had trucks out directing people to move over to the right hand lane to make an exit along any of the three exits from Harry to Kellogg.
Interestingly, one of the fellows stopped by to tell me that his daughter had played a part in The Wizard of Oz on Broadway. We chatted for awhile and then he went on with his work. I picked up with Dorothy meeting Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Lion. I thought to myself, Brains, Heart and Courage. Consider a focus on those attributes to motivate you.
In Tonopah we stopped at the gas station, hoping to get hot beverages and hopefully information on the storm. Here we would make a decision on whether to push on through or get a hotel room for the night. The fellow was more than a little strange. Not at all what we needed at a time like this. He was very non-committal in his response but admitted he'd heard that "maybe" the roads were a "little" better just past Goldfield.
The Indy Car race in Las Vegas this weekend was over after just eleven out of three hundred laps, due to a 15 traffic pile up that developed in the middle of the track. You can watch the Dan Wheldon crash video here to see the horrific scene that unfolded in front of Indy car fans on Sunday, though viewer discretion is advised.
"Well, girls, whaddya think?" I was taking a vote. We all agreed to press on past Goldfield and get this trip over with. The thought of a hotel room and waking up to tons of snow and needing to buy chains, etc. was not appealing. We were ready to be home.
In a recent article published by the Associated Press via ABC news Allstate, the second largest auto insurance provider in Texas, announced that the number of insurance claims paid out as a result of storms and bad weather that had absolutely nothing to do with snow was on the rise. Drivers in the area can expect to see the numbers on those free auto insurance quotes going up, and they're not the only ones. Drivers all across the country could be feeling the sting if this trend continues.
We got ourselves a room. The front desk lady was so nice and understanding.
