It's quite possible the drivers went from clear visibility to very low or no visibility in an

instant during this type of snow storm. No time to slow down even if you're already driving cautiously for the weather conditions. Going downhill makes it even more likely for things to go crazy.

If this happened on I-81 in the Poconos, then there's no slowing down on a slippery snow

covered highway going DOWN a mountainside.

Brakes are useless when the roads freeze and there's a sheet of black ice. Applying brakes on ice may even make it worse for the driver. Just put the car in the lowest gear and hope it slows down enough to maintain control.

Shares were sold in Feb 2022 for a $3M loss and represented a relatively small portion of the

overall investments of the pension fund.

No, despite what you see on the Internet, Kentucky’s teacher pension fund did not just lose $13 million in Russian bank stock.


“From March 2017 until the final sale on Feb. 23, 2022, TRS invested $15.6 million with $12.4 million returned, for a loss of $3.2 million,” the agency said in the statement.

I had a whack job for a "mother" as well.

She was the embodiment of Old Mother Hubbard of the nursey rhyme. The obscene # of children she got pregnant with and birthed in a relatively short amount of time was her only claim to fame. When it came time for sex education to be taught as a part of health class in my high school during 10th grade, she made sure her big mouth landed her on the front page of the newspaper. It was EMBARRASSING as all heck to have the antithesis of responsible parenthood spewing her anti-sex education in the public school BS. What a joke!
