Took the oldest out for a driving lesson in the snow.

Couple of shot for my nerves please.

Speedballs or just straight heroin?

We had fun. Leaning how to control slides, breaking and turn, getting going up hill. With and with out traction control and 4 wheel drive.

I remember the first time I got in a skid. Side street, unplowed, 1/4" snow. Nothing to run into.

Yes, time stretched out enough for me to understand what "steer into the skid" meant.

The worst I ever got into was freezing rain. Light rain, when I turned on the wipers, it scraped across the frozen drops on the wind shield.

I thought about things for what seemed like nearly a minute, and just shifted into neutral. I put on my flasher and got down to about 20mph. A car whipped past me and tried to make the curve but went straight off into a field. When I was down to about 15mph I put in first and just about lost it into a ditch. Trucks were stopping then just sliding off the road sideways. i just kept going at idling speed, and maneuvering as best as I could.

About an hour, till we got to snow....
