Yesterday afternoon, while I was still in class it started to snow. Maybe an inch or so by the time I left. I went to Joe's and we hung out some and then decided to go to dinner with Frei. By then it had snowed maybe three inches and the roads were no longer clear. Joe was going to get some gas and follow me over to my place, so I went ahead and left not remembering to tell him how terrible Columbia is in the winter-no one can drive and the roads are never cleared off. Since it was also rush hour, using that term loosely, it was taking me a long time to get home. I got this call on the way from Joe calling from Black And Gold, which is this bar near his house, seems he had put his car off into a ditch! I asked him what he planned on doing, what he wanted me to do. It was decided that I would come over this afternoon and call a tow truck for him since if I did it from my cell phone it would be free. (I have some fantastic roadside assistance!) Anyway, I also decided not to go to dinner since I hate driving in the snow and had planned on making Joe drive. I didn't get any studying done though because I had a terrible headache.
The worse part of all this? Not Joe putting his car in the ditch but the fact that since he didn't come over, I had to carry the two 70 pound sand bags from my apartment (on the second floor) down to my car! That sucked.
