Safe Arrival
I took my time and didn't push it at all. The roads were slushy in my area and snow everywhere but I soon drove out of it. However, that wasn't before there ws on unnerving incident. An oncoming truck sprayed my windshield completely and it was hard to see. I got the windshield wipers on but they were frozen down and had to struggle to engage. I had no idea that they were frozen. I had cleaned the windshield completely. It was the only bad incident that I had.
As I traveled, I listened to the radio. At one point there was some "special person" giving highway safety tips because of all the extra travel that people will be doing over Thanksgiving. I was amazed to hear her tips: Wear your seat belt and drive safely!!! I was expecting much more than that, like a whole string of good advice, not two fundamentals that even people who don't drive know. I wonder if she was being paid for her advice.
I was wearing my seat belt and I did drive safely, so I guess I took her advice.

That's scary when you're temporarily unable to see because of a splattered windshield and doubly so when the wipers are not co-operating!
You're right about the advice. She may as well have said don't forget to turn on your headlights at night.
Glad you're there safe and sound. Did the dogs come with you?
