I've been battling a cold for the last two weeks. It started as a head cold, and then after about 4 days, went into my chest, and is now back to my head. Ugh. I hate colds. I suppose it's a necessary evil though, and hopefully, after this, won't get another one this season. Seems ironic, but I got a flu shot 3 days before getting the cold, and then I got sick. I've never gotten a flu shot before, and decided that it was time to start. Hmm. Was it coincidence? Or did the flu shot lower my immune system's guard allowing a bug to get in? Did I say that I hate colds?
I do however love ABS (anti lock brakes). While the sensation of the ABS system is akin to what feels like driving on road of crushed glass (sends chills down my spine), it does work remarkably well. The snow that we were supposed to get amounted to about 1/4", most of which melted as it hit the ground, but then quickly refroze as a solid sheet of ice. Driving out of our subdivision, we have a downward slope to the stop light, along with a curve. This morning, I hit the brakes to slow down quite a bit once I realized that I was driving on nothing but ice, and the ABS kicked in. Every time it starts, it gives me a jolt, but I've learned to just keep my foot on the brake no matter how strange it feels. And, they sure do their job. Amazing piece of technology.
