Although these days, I try to to avoid answering the phone at all until I get to my destination. I just see too many people talking on the phone and swerving on the road. So dangerous!

Great content! I'm wondering if you would mind my linking to it on a page on my website: http://ow.ly/Ti6R I'm riffing on an analogy about cleaning our windshields/belief systems and love the dirty wiper image. Of course I would give attribution and linkage to your site. Let me know! Take care, Deb Schanilec Thought Chaperone blissmonger@gmail.com blissmonger.com Hi Amy,

I try to have zip ties, cotter pins, and a few basic tools. Not many people are as willing to crawl under their car on the side of the road as I am though, so it didn't seem like it was worth mentioning. There are winter kits you can purchase online through Amazon as well. I've gotten out of many, many snowy ditches with nothing more than a shovel. Start by shoveling snow out of the way so your car can move, and clear a small path so your car has somewhere to go without too much resistance, and put the shovel under one of the tires. It'll give the tires something to grab onto rather than slipping and sliding all over the place. Once you've started moving the car, you're as good as out. Go back and grab your shovel now (it may be pretty far away). Not recommended in crowded areas or areas with expensive ... anything ... around, and only really useful as a last-ditch effort since the shovel may try to fly away and hit your rear bumper instead.

It's a great idea to put together a Winter Survival Kit and keep it in the truck of your car. -Jumper cables -flashlight (keep this in the glove box) -extra clothes & a warm blanket -ice scaper & a snow brush -extra windshield washer & paper towels -a bag of sand or non-clumping kitty litter which you can use to get additional traction if a tire spins on ice or snow. -flares & a first aide kit -High protein, non-perishable foods such as protein bars, nuts and raisins. Make sure you have them in a mouse proof container! Jesse, you are correct… It’s a great idea to put together a Winter Survival Kit and keep it in the truck of your car.

I also keep a flashlight and an extra set of clothes (spare socks are key in the winter, especially). A good windshield brush/scraper is invaluable as well.
