On the drive home tonight I came down 1000 South. That's the road less traveled than Highway 33 that comes around the other side of our block. It was icy but I didn't realize it until near the end of the crossroad with 4000 West. Interestingly, shortly before I applied the brakes the GPS flipped 180 degrees and showed my triangle driving backwards. Shortly thereafter I applied the brakes and began to slide. I had zero traction. I let off the brake until I approached the dirty intersection, then applied again when rubber grabbed against sand and I was able to come to a stop. I'm thankful for the road department and their grit!
