Just returned from Mass, which is usually standing-room only but today was close to empty because of all the snow. The only reason we made it was because of our SUV’s 4-wheel drive. In fact, the only vehicles in the parking lot were SUVs and pick-ups. It made me think of all the people who say SUVs are pointless, and how wrong they are. The snow’s still coming down and we’re not going out again unless it’s really important, like a kid with a gash in the head (as happened a couple of months ago). If we do venture forth, we’ll need our SUV once more, and we’ll get where we need to go. Thank goodness for these great vehicles.
