Ron; best wishes, your son is in my prayers. My daughter is a 911 telecommunicator. Her husband is Asst Chief with their volunteer fire department. They send their best wishes to a brother. While we don't get a lot of snow here in N Carolina, we do get ice, black ice to be specific. My wife and son were on their way to work this am and both found the ice. I guess when you drill it into their heads long enough, they get to understand and know when conditions are bad and both were, thankfully, paying attention to what they were doing at those moments, going in opposite directions. Both made it to work, but both had to call me to let me know what was happening. Life is so fragile. Hold it carefully.
