Winter weather leaves this Viking girl at home. Back in 1997, on the way to Kingdom 12th Night where I was to step up as KMOAS, I got in a apin-out accident on I-94 (sideswiped by a bus). My then 15 year old son was with me. Right then and there I decided that no event was worth this. So, I'll be home crocheting in my recliner. M. Thorhalla - not the most adventuresome Viking anymore.

> PS I'm a certified COWARD for winter driving. I've been in three winter wrecks or very near-misses, including flipping my Chevette on its hood... holy cow.... January 15, 1985. I still remember it. Sitting upside down in my car, "Mike and the Mechanics" playing on the radio...my bottle of Sprite fizzing above my head (I thought the car was about to explode). I rolled down the passenger window and with help, dug myself out of the car. I was very lucky, I had four 50-pound bags of salt in the back, and as I went over, they kinda slid up the side of the car to the roof. They -could- have all slid forward and pinned me against the steering wheel.
