Correction.

"Gabby" the instructor was not pissed off when I stalled the truck on the on ramp on Friday. He was merely annoyed. What did in fact piss him off was when I stopped on a set of railroad tracks.

This is what happens when a train hits a truck:



And there's this:



And this:



Let's see. Could be that the driver was an idiot?

So anyway. The snowstorm that we are experiencing as I write this has brought an early end to training today. Bleh!

Also on the way home I was going east on Washington Avenue through the U of M campus and an idiot (male) decides to ride his bicycle (in the middle of a snow shower) on the wrong side of the street between the two lanes of eastbound traffic. I should not have been surprised by this.

Why do I somehow feel that getting a college education these days must in some way involve being lobotomized?

So, how was your reality today?

The driving school does not exist in isolation. Those staff and students who live in the area all have drive a long ways to go home.
