Braving the ice

It took forever for me to get back home. The streets were pretty frozen over and I had to take the least traveled roads since East Tennessee drivers are notorious for crappy snow driving... hell, they can't even drive in the rain! Eventually I made it to the closest Kroger after passing scores of ditched cars and got some grub. Then I strategized the best route to get to my place since there are a lot of hills and such. I tried Papermill but it looked like there was some kind of accident and I didn't get close enough to find out. Then I just decided to go through Sutherland and take my chances with the hills.

I managed to make it past the dreaded Hollywood ave. hill, unlike a couple of motorists who were in a ditch and eventually I made it to my complex. However, I didn't have enough speed to make it up the hill and a friendly tennant offered to push me up. How exactly he was going to do that? If a car make it up the hill I doubt he's gonna do any good. But I let him try anyway and he nearly fell on his ass.

His girlfriend suggested I go back down the hill and go up at a faster speed and take the alternate route to my apartment which wasn't on such a steep hill. It worked... hope that guy marries that girl or he's in trouble.



On my way to my apartment, my neighbor asked me how the streets were and I said they were pretty bad. I could tell she was worried about her boyfriend and I just told her it would take awhile for anyone to get past Papermill. Then I went inside and ate some food.



If this doesn't clear up tomorrow, I won't be going to see ROTK after all. I just be inside in bed and in a coma.... speaking of which.... 'night!
