Murphy’s law states “If something can go wrong, it will and usually at the worst possible moment”. Such has been my day today. It started out okay but for the next several hours it has gone down hill. It probably started when I decided to have new tires put on my car. After a wait of several hours the tires were on and I was on the Interstate. Within a few moments I quickly became aware that my steering wheel had a very noticeable vibration. I returned to the store for another hour. Finally, all is good, or so I thought. The vibration? It’s still there, perhaps not as bad but it’s still there. I decide to go home and deal with it tomorrow. Back on the Interstate, the tractor and trailer that I’m passing decides to come over into my lane. As I hit the brakes and go towards the shoulder, I find that the road is icy and the shoulder is covered with snow. As I start to slide the truck pulls back and I quickly recover and find my way back into my lane. Whew that I was close!
As I get closer to home, I hear a noise coming from what appears to be my left rear tire. Great! Now what I wonder? It appears it has something to do with my emergency brake. I decide that this will be another thing to look at in the morning.
I have four goldfish in a pond outside which I’m trying to get into their tank inside the house. I had cleared the ice off the pond last night only to find that it’s frozen over again. Not as bad as it had been but bad enough that it too will have to wait.
Needless to say, I’m annoyed and tired. I’ve got a lot to do and to top it off I’ve been having more breathing issues related to asthma. Stress sometimes affects this. So, what I need to do is chill. How? Writing helps as it gets it out. It’s what talking can do but I’m in no mood to talk. A good cup of coffee would be good too and that will be done in the next couple of minutes. Perhaps it’s best to remember that I’m not in control and that these things happen. Jesus said to cast all our burdens upon him, so I’m casting. I can’t control what happens, but I can control how I allow it to affect me. Think about it.

PRESS RELEASE
On March 8, 2023, at approximately 11:27 a.m., the State Police responded to the area of State Route 21 near Isaman Road in the town of Wayland, for a 2-car motor vehicle accident with possible entrapment.
The investigation determined that Kalie M. Moses, age 27, from Wayland, and her 5-year-old son were traveling northbound on state route 21 when she drifted off the east shoulder of the road. Moses overcorrected, causing her vehicle to slide sideways across the north and southbound lanes, striking the driver side of a Fedex delivery van. Moses was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Steuben County Coroner. Her 5-year-old son and the operator of the Fedex van were taken to Strong Memorial Hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.
The State Police were assisted at the scene by the Wayland Village Police Department, Perkinsville Fire Department, Cohocton Fire Department, Cohocton Ambulance, Springway Ambulance, Livingston County ALS, and New York State DOT.
Montoursville, PA – In advance of the winter weather forecasted, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will be pre-treating roadways in the District 3 region of Bradford, Columbia, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder, Sullivan, Tioga and Union counties.
Anti-icing involves wetting the highway with salt brine before a storm’s arrival. The solution lowers the freezing point of water and slows or prevents ice from forming a bond with the pavement during the early stages of a storm.
The salt brine is spread from sprayers attached to the brine tank on PennDOT trucks. The trucks have signs on the backs indicating their purpose. The public can track the location of PennDOT plow trucks on www.511PA.com.
While precipitation is falling, PennDOT will have crews treating roadways around the clock, but the department aims to keep the roads passable rather than completely free of ice and snow. PennDOT will continue to treat roadways through the storm until precipitation stops and roads are clear.
With freezing temperatures, roads that look wet may actually be icy, and extra caution is needed when approaching bridges and highway ramps where ice can form without warning. Motorists should leave plenty of space when following a truck that is plowing or spreading winter materials.
While PennDOT recommends not traveling during winter storms, motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com.511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
