I would have liked to make this a longer entry, but spending the night at a hotel while my laptop is sitting at home, wistfully waiting for my return… not gonna happen. Using my phone to write this could completely bastardize my spelling and grammar (not that I make a point to use proper grammar in the first place), so I might as well limit the suffering for all parties involved.
That said, for those of you driving in the sleet/snow mix that’s going to be freezing overnight, be careful. Lakeville has tried adding a stoplight to the concrete section of a divided highway’s intersection. My mom and I drove by that spot this morning, saw some skid marks in the snow and an annoyed city worker told us it had been smashed into “about fifty pieces.” For the second time since they tried installing it. So be careful, okay?
