If you're "lucky" enough to be raised a farmboy, you also learn not to pee on an electric fence. But you have to try at least once. Especially if your friends are encouraging you to. Some friends ...

80 degrees here in LA today. I was monitoring outside air temp as I drove through the mountains, it was about 41 degrees.

Icy road conditions didn't seem to be a factor in the JPL van pool accident.
