99 Bottles of Beer

Dear Diary,

I am happy to have survived another day.  I didn't think our travel conditions could have been worse than yesterday.  I was wrong.  Black ice with 50+ mile per hour gusts for nearly eighty miles.  Cars were in ditches and semis were skidding.  Trying to go back was scarier than pressing on.  I will forever hold my breath while crossing bridges.  Our car skidded sideways on every one until the temp hit 36 degrees.  It takes 35 minutes to complete one rendition of '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall'.  At 80mph, we went 34 miles for one round.  It took four rounds to get from the Utah/Nevada border to Elko, Nevada.  No geese were sighted today.
