The Weather Window

Sunday or Monday, the little Kadizzle band will head for Hazen. It will be a trip back to the frozen North in a land heavily populated with people who voted for McCain. The trick to the trip is making it on good clear roads. A couple years ago The Commander and his Lordship had a terrifying trip home when the truck and trailer went off the interstate at over 50 mph. Ice was the culprit. By some miracle the truck went a couple hundred yards through a field and Kadizzle managed to steer it back on the road unharmed. However, Kadizzle learned a lesson. Never, ever pull a trailer on snow or ice if you can avoid it. So we will sit until the right moment, and then bust home to the arctic circle. Another favorite part of the trip is wind. This time of year insane winds come off the Rockies. When you get in the Cheyenne area it is not unusual to see tractor trailer trucks laying on their side. Last year we had to go an extra hundred miles east to avoid the wind. Interstate 25 was closed do to wind.
