I got up and looked out the window. The snow was coming down softly and covering up the streets. Dave was due to head out to CalArts in California, and Amy was ready to head out for Portales. Mary was at work. The TV commentators brought us up short. I 40 was shut down going east from Albuquerque. and caustion was encouraged in travel west.
Computer sites told a story of wait unless you had to travel. Both of these had been with me in Costa Rico,in the sixties and of course had heard the stories of "The Trip around the world".
"Well Dad, you would take off>>>".
I didn't confirm or deny.
"If I can get through to Grants and then to Gallup, it should be a good trip through Flagstaff. "
It was probably true. He started packing and and with hugs around he took off.
The day progressed and so did Dave. He texted messaged to Amy.. I don't have that skill.
Dave and Mary had ridden up with me from Costa Rica . On that trip we had driven through a war between Nicaragua and Salvadore but that is another story.
NOw it is just wait and keep in touch.

Amy is stuck with us. the snow came and the streets and highways are treacherous. I don't know when they will open up.

Just point the nose of my car towards the horizon ~ the road calls and I answer.
Amy made it home without many scratches on her new truck.
The snow and ice are treacherous around here. I got stuck in a parking lot and had to have some help being pushed out
Did you need pushing from the rear? Kind of the Levi-method? And did your truck need pushing as well, or just you? And did it take one of those heavy duty cranes to do the job? I guess that would be pulling, but I wasn't sure how specific you were being with the verbs.
In any case, both you and your truch made it out, and I assume you didn't have scratches either, just your truck.
