This is my first blogging experience and my first opportunity to 'publish' anything. We will see how it goes. In 2013 I am traveling cross country, applying for nursing school, hopefully starting nursing school, and moving. My goal is mainly to keep this up.

Day 59 - Tire Chains


Chains are a new concept for me. Oh, we have chains, just not like these. Where I’m from, we don’t have snow - we barely have cold! 




We are in the process of selling our truck, I've been tasked with photographing the details of the sale for a potential buyer. Since these are specific for the tires on our truck, the buyer will inherit a beautiful, unused set of four with this purchase. I’m glad we haven’t had to use them yet. We've never been in bad enough weather that we needed them. People get crazy when the weather turns. They forget the basics. On the other hand, drivers on vacation think they’re entitled to do anything on the road they’d like. People on vacation in bad weather are the worst.

I thought a thunder storm during spring break at the beach equaled bad driving. That’s got nothing on white out conditions, whilst drivers are hummin’ over some mountain pass with a ‘falling rock area’ on one side of the road and a ‘drop to your death’ valley on the other. Then add in turnouts for installing chains, semi’s mixed with regular Joe’s, all trying to hurry up and get ‘em on so their limbs don’t freeze and they can be on their way. Yeah, thankful we've been able to just drive on through.
