Roads are crap this morning. Be careful. You don't want to ghost yourself or your loved ones!
ReplyDeleteThe road crews have done the usual shitty job.
ReplyDeleteThe news people always tell us to leave early, to allow plenty of time. This of course is what their advertisers want them to do. I call BS. Go late. Wait till it is light, and the temperature is up. Make excuses later...say you got behind an accident, gr8 stuck, whatever. Don't take chances for people who couldn't care less about you.
ReplyDeleteI truly like and respect that written opinion. It is more than 100% true! These are the same people you're risking your life and others and your personal belongings for someone who wouldn't give you any kind of a notice if they were to fire you or lay you off. Have a great day Kansas City happy Halloween
