More Adventures in Winter Driving

So I was supposed to meet a friend at lunch today so we could go for a walk. I'm happily driving along, thinking a little too much about other things and not near enough about driving. So what happens? I end up off the road and into a snowy meadow. The more I try to get out, the farther back in the meadow I move. Finally I walked to the nearest house to ask for help. She was very nice and asked a neighbor with a tractor to help get my car out. Unfortunately we couldn't figure out where the chain could go without pulling off the bumper. So we went back and called a tow truck. I'm still waiting for the truck to deliver my car. Thankfully this time, in addition to my not being hurt, my car is also unhurt. Lesson learned: Pay a lot more attention to your driving, especially when the roads are snowy.

On the up side--I got my walk in.
