People VS Winter

Winter is here, but so far we have had it pretty mild and no real snow yet. This video serves as a good reminder to be extra careful in the winter- when it is icy or the snow gets here. Do not use cruise control and slow down. Make sure your car has a flashlight, keep your fuel tank on the top half and carry some blankets or extra jackets for an emergency. Kitty Litter could be helpful as would a small shovel in your car. If traveling over the pass, expect a lot more snow and be sure that your tires are adequate and you have chains if you are not an all wheel drive vehicle. If you can postpone your drive when it is snowing out- do it, don't try to be a hero or prove your skills. Remember, you need to watch out for the other guy and the ones who do not carry insurance.  And beware of falling, on icy conditions- again, slow down and expect things to be icy when below freezing out.

The Indians asked their Chief in Autumn if the Winter was going to be cold or not.

Not really knowing an answer, the chief replies that the Winter was going to be cold with lots of snow and that the members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared.

Being a good leader, he then went to the next phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter to be cold?"

The man on the phone responded, "This Winter is going to be quite cold indeed."

So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"

"Yes", the man replied, "it's going to be a very cold Winter."

So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again: "Are you absolutely sure that the

Winter is going to be very cold?"

"Absolutely," the man replies, "the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!"
