Silly Site o' the Day

I have made it through an eight-hour commute, the longest ever. I left work at 2 PM for a 4 PM doctor's appointment, then the wind picked up and the snow fell more and more heavily and... well, long story short, there were no right decisions to be made, schoolbuses and local buses with no snow chains had overturned and gotten stuck and tractor trailers had jackknifed and every turn we made brought new horrors and there was a developmentally disabled woman on the seat in front of me screaming and banging against the side of our bus that she needed to go home and... well, it'll make for an interesting tale over the Thanksgiving table at my cousin's house next week, that's for sure! The important thing is, thanks to my downstairs neighbor who picked me up at the first dropoff point, I'm home and safe and dry now, and we still have power. I can't help but wonder what Myrna Tellingheusen would have to say about all this...
