Is it because people live so much further from where they work these days, and are not taught how to drive in freezing conditions? Or are younger people lazy and looking for the first excuse to avoid work these days?Margaretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-56241448634474666892009-12-18T18:48:17.937+00:002009-12-18T18:48:17.937+00:00Greetings from cold (-30 with windchill) Ottawa! ...Greetings from cold (-30 with windchill) Ottawa!
