Slick Roads

One time, Denece went with her High School Band to a regional festival in Pocatello.  She had been chosen to play an oboe solo.  She did not know her folks came to hear the concert.  On the bus ride home, some kids told her that her parents had been in a terrible car accident and thought her mother had been killed.  She said that that was the longest bus ride of her life.  Her parents had been in an accident.  There was freezing rain and then snow.  Her mother had a bad cut on her arm.  The road was so slick that the bus driver had asked the kids to get off the bus and help hold the bus on the road as it went around the corner.
