Muddy Water

I really surprised myself today. I got very upset with water...muddy water. This is how it happened...
I was on the road today traveling from Arkansas to Missouri. Those of you that live in either area know that parts of both states have been hit with some winter weather recently. This morning, I was lucky enough to have to travel across state lines in both parts of the state where the winter weather had hit. It was not fun to say the least. After traveling for five hours (when it normally takes three) and not going over 40 miles-per-hour, I was beginning to get a little irritable towards the end of the road trip.
I 10'd and 2'd it the whole way and when the road conditions finally started to get a little better, the muddy water started to fly. As the snow melted on the roads, it turned into a nasty, muddy mess and all the vehicles that went through it, kicked it up to the ohh soo lucky recipient behind them. I myself happened to be that lucky recipient the entire last half of the trip. I thought to myself, "Oh yea...I will just use my wind shield wiper fluid and my wind shield wipers and it'll all be ok." Ha...little did I know, since it was only 15 degrees outside, my wind shield wiper fluid was frozen and so were my wind shield wipers. When they did wipe my windows, they simply smeared muddy mess all over my wind shield and made my visibility next to nothing.
Needless to say, I did make it to my destination safe and sound but I will not be driving in muddy water conditions any more unless absolutley neccesary!
