This is not SMART.

My neighbor drives one of these and today I was shocked to see it pull out onto our road. I'm all for the environment and everything but driving this on a day like today is just not SMART. They practically have bicycle tires and I swear if you ran over it, it would just feel like a little bump. The roads are still snow covered and slippery - it would have been SMART to leave this baby in the garage. My husband drives a dump truck which when fully loaded weighs over 75,000 lbs - how much chance would this SMART car have against a big DUMB dump truck. Oh and by the way - who named it the SMART car - what makes it smart?

Today was quite the drive in to work - I'm a big chicken when it comes to driving in the snow - not because I doubt my abilities but because I doubt everyone elses. This morning was a case in point. There were cars completely covered with snow speeding along the road, creating their own mini blizzards from all the snow blowing off them - driving as if it's the middle of June. Then there was the lady with no snow tires who pulled out to try and beat the snow plow coming along - she was inches from being scooped up - inches I say! When I passed her she was completely oblivious to what she had done - either that or she was so embarassed she dare not take her eyes from the road. Last night was no better - snow covered roads, poor visibility and some guy rushing to his funeral passed me at 60mph on a two lane country road with oncoming traffic. Seriously - what's the big rush? Every snow storm there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of accidents all over the place - hmmmm - is it bad roads or bad drivers? I know what I think......

Here's some knitting - just so you know I'm not completely grumpy!

Here's our darling Jeanette with her newly finished vest in Dream in Color Cocoa Kiss - this is Mary's sweater - she used Duets Sock Yarn - who'd a thunk it?

Hey it's Knit Night tonight! Come and join the fun if you can!
