[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 730878, member: 1233"] The part of OH that I used to live in has a highway that the locals have called the "Alzheimer's freeway" for as long as we lived there when my kids were little (7 years). It took me a while to get used to the name when someone would give directions. After they opened the section near my house, I routinely took it to work because it was the fastest way. Then I took it on an icy day and NEVER again. When they built it, they banked it like a racetrack, but all they put between the 2 lanes going one way at 70 miles and 2 lanes going the other was an area of grass that was as flat as a pancake. The reason I never took it on an icy day again was because the road curves and wanders all over the county. Cars were just going head on into traffic going the other direction. I managed to make it to the next exit and I took the surface roads to work. I was late, but I was in one piece. My boss looked at my face and asked, "You tried the Alzheimer's this morning too, didn't you?" That was all he said. I guess my face said it all that day. Lil's icy day brought that memory back! Yikes! [/QUOTE]
