The two most under appreciated words in the English language are Visibility and Traction  :'(

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

What did you hit?  Just wondering what the brown gunk is on the passenger side.

There goes the (guns and) ammo budget.

White out hit as I took a sweeping turn up hill out of town.  I was behind a semi and another pick up.  At about 20 mph I lost sight of the pick up, but could still see the top of the semi trailer.  I let off the gas and lost sight of the trailer as it pulled away.  Then I saw the pick up again.  It was stopped right in front of me.  I hit the brakes, heard the anti-lock rattle, and then the boom.

The brown stuff is ATF.  I sprayed it six feet out into the ditch until I ran out.  It looks brown because it is actually snow soaked and frozen ATF.

Lucky for 2 reasons, first, no one got hurt, 2nd, it was just the 2 of you. The same thing happened here Monday and involved 35 cars. It was flurrying a little then a squall hit and they just plowed into one another.
Visibility and traction ?  You have options if you lose one or the other, but when both go you're SOL.

By the way, if you look real close you will see a box of American Eagle .22lr on the driver's side dash  ;D
