BLACK ICE -sneaky stuff.

I have already told the 180 degree spin I did on icy (not quite a) mountain road that instead of taking me over edge slammed me up against the high side. Driver door wedged against side of mountain, my car in lane facing in wrong direction and semi, barreling down the road slipping on the ice as I had. I managed to get the door open enough to start scrabbling up the mountain, but my foot/trainer was wedged between door and truck. I figured if that semi hit my truck, it was going to take my leg off at the very least. At most ... uggh. Don't want to think about it.

Luckily the semi, missed my truck. Relatively soon after a UPS driver,came along, got me free, pulled my truck away from the mountain. All I had was a flat tire and few thin scratches in the paint. I drove up to first driveway and asked to call my husband. All this at 5 AM. Husband did not get to sort out the flat tire until 11:30, because he spent the entire morning, trying to warn people away from the dangerous slippery road and helping deputies and state police, get cars unstuck.
