    So Monday, I had to drive two hours to Nashville through 30-36F, drizzle-rain, crud, at 70 mph up I-65 and after dark, back home again. Tuesday, I had to repeat it again but this time planned. But as I was passing through one particularly nasty hollow, I realized 'this is simply amazing!'

    Outside it was cold enough the tree tops and power lines were coated with ice. There was a steady, cold wind blowing just miserable to be out weather across the Interstate . . . and I'm on cruise control, 70 mph, tracking traffic even through the flog (especially wet fog) . . . and I'm dry, warm, and listening to tunes. I have both the corporate iPhone and personal cell phone and plenty of time to make my appointment. Meanwhile, our 2010 Prius is dealing with all this crappy weather. It could have been our 2003 Prius but not as fun as the 2010.

    There was never any question about making my appointment safely. Yet only a few mm of glass and steel protected me in comfort and carried me safely on my way. Sometimes, we just don't realize how good we've got it.
