Four Wheeler Fallacy

>Yup - Been amazed over my years of winter driving, in Wisconsin and Minnesota, at how many of those who passed me have ended up in the ditch.

I've been told I have a strange sense of humor, but it's kinda fun to see'em standing in the ditch (obviously unhurt), hands on their hips, with that confused look on their face!

I guess they don't tell'em the 4WD DOES NOT mean better stopping on ice! It DOES mean when you get stuck you are REALLY stuck.

Only time I've "gone in" was many years back (am I tempting fate by saying this?) when under the influence of stuff I don't put in me any more!

>Dom,

Only one problem I see with that picture. You're hording all of the good wood! We city boys in CA don't have the storage space for that many wood piles, let alone have access to that much. So, load up the truck with ballast drive out to sunny So. CAl. where you won't need ballast anymore and I'll help you unload it. :-)
