The Anonymous Widower

Times When I’m Glad I Don’t Own A Car – 2

Last night was cold and we only got a few flurries of snow.

But my gas kept coming through the pipe and the electricity kept coming through the wires.

For most of the last forty years, the worry was could the gas tanker get through the snow to the remote houses I lived in, in Suffolk.

As I don’t drive any more, I wasn’t tempted to venture out in the snow towards Sussex.

I suspect some of those who did, are regretting their actions.  After all, these days, there is no excuse not to know that bad weather in on the way.

I also wonder how many of those were commuting home from work.  I’ve never understood why anybody commutes, as I’ve worked at home since 1970!
