You have to drive so defensively because so few people respect the driving conditions. I'm glad I didn't have to go anywhere this evening...

Tell me about it. I also grew up in Central KS as well, and lived on a dirt road. Lived to drive through a flooded terrain. Drove through a packed in dirt road. Hell, I once even drove on a sand road, and those are rare these days.
I try not to go anywhere at all, if possible, on this type of a shitty weather, but the painting job at the new home isn't gonna get it done by itself, so eventually, I needed to get up there and get some of the work done. But yes, for some odd reason, they think driving 70 mph on the interstate with their 4x4's on, will make them safe. Uh, no. Sorry.
Epic fail.
