I was being blown all around the road! It felt like a steering component broke or something, but really it was just the wind. The semis were having a tough time too.

It's okay though, I managed to get a front row parking spot I could back into so I don't have to deal with the cluster fuck of traffic after school.

I got to wear clothes that weren't my uniform today too! Sweatpants FTW.

And I have a party tonight I'm going to.

Today's gonna be a good day, I can feel it.

I had to spend the night on the side of I70 somewhere in the middle of Kansas one time when the highway patrol shut it down due to semis blowing over. Stupid wind.

I was driving across New England during/just after that nor'easter they had last week. Talk about some wind.

And lots of sideways rain. Craziness.

One morning I had to drive through what I think were inland hurricane leftovers. High winds + heavy rain + darkness + wipers that can't keep up = no fun whatsoever.

That sounds terrifying. Just driving along and *PLOP*

Yeah, I didn't see any because of the road block but apparently three had gone onto their side, one of which got hit by a family in a van. Got to listen to the radio chatter during the cleanup when the highway patrol guys brought dinner and coffee out to the 20 or so of us who decided to wait it out on the highway rather than turning around and heading back to the previous town and attempting to find a room.

Ah, the joys of driving a barn door!

I was damn near thrown into the next lane the first time it caught me off guard.

Aerodynamics of a brick.

Been there, it's no fun.
