Went in to the swamp today to pick up another set of fleece sheets because they're dirt cheap today. Protip: fleece sheets are very comfy and warm but not too warm. I prefer them to flannel sheets. Buy some fleece sheets if you see them anyplace.
Going up the main drag to the store, I noticed a traffic jam in the opposite direction; one that required me to sit through a traffic light change because a semi was caught in the intersection.
I had passed the reason for the jam a short distance earlier: a woman on one of those mobility scooters, going down the middle of the road, making half a mile an hour maybe.
I don't necessarily want to call this sucky because it may be the woman's only means of transportation and the sidewalks in town are bad. However, the roads are really no better due to all the ice. Turning in to the swamp's parking lot, I ended up behind a van smoking its tires trying to make the turn also.
And besides driving a small, slow vehicle like a mobility scooter sounds to me like a good way to get turned into street pizza.
