You know you live/work in a small community when

You nearly slide off the road into someone from work who as already slipped into a ditch and you are still more than 10 miles from campus. This after meeting another person from work who has turned around and after coming across first person in ditch. ICY is the only way to describe the drive today. I came closer to an accident than anytime in the last 10 years.

Now I am off to inflict the pain of an exam on students.
