When Gina got off work up there at Toledo, it was
snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero. She
made her way to her car and wondered how she was going to get home. She sat in
the car while it warmed up and thought about her situation. She remembered Ole's
advice that if she got caught in a blizzard, she should wait for a snowplow to
come by and follow it. That way she would not have to worry about going off the
road or getting stuck in a snowdrift.
Sure enough, in a little while, a snowplow went by,
so she pulled out and began to follow it. As she followed along behind the plow,
she felt quite comfortable and smug as they continued on their way and she was
not having any problem with the blizzard or road conditions. After some time had
passed, she was somewhat surprised when the snowplow stopped. The driver got out
of the cab and came back to her car. He signaled her to roll down her window and
asked if she was all right, as she had been following him for a long time. Lena
said she was fine and told him of her husband's advice to follow a plow when
caught in a blizzard. The driver replied it was okay with him and that she could
continue to follow him if she wanted, but he wanted her to know that he was done
with the WalMart parking lot now and was going over to Target next.
