I made the right decision. (I love when that happens!)
We saw some GREAT wrestling and some GREAT wrestlers tonight. In the signature match, Maple beat Napier with a takedown with :01 second to go. However, it was far from convincing. All it did was make you want to have them rest for a half hour and then go again. Great wrestling!
As for the weather, on the way there was nothing: no snow or rain. Just a regular drive to Topeka.
However, we left to return home in a freezing rain. As we proceeded west, it changed to regular rain and then to nothing when we got into the Kansas City area.
However, there were several times when we suddenly came upon patches of snow and ice laying strewn across the road that had evidently fallen off of a truck. Some of them were huge chunks (6-10″)!
I couldn’t dodge them since it was slippery so I just kept driving, cringing at the thought that the Honda’s front lower valance might not clear them.
In the end, my son and I had two good hours together in the car, saw some great wrestling, had a good time with friends at the match, made it home safely and the car is still in one piece.
Tomorrow, I’m going to sleep in and watch the snow fall.
