Another challenging commute into Ann Arbor this morning.  The worst roads turned out to be the first three, all back roads getting me out of my country home to civilization and more highly used highways.  After that it was mostly clear sailing, which got me into AA, where the roads are just wet, much too early for class.

My mantra during the first ten miles, as I inched my way on snow covered and icy roads was “Stay in your rut and don’t touch the brakes.”  Which, as I thought about it after I was safely on open pavement, might be my mantra to get through this final semester.
