The Good Morning Drive

Good Morning!
It's coming up on 4am here and Don and I are just reading over scripts.
Oddly enough we followed each other into work this morning. The roads in the city of Utica were fairly clear but not clear enough to drive the speed limit. All was well until Don and I got to the notorious Smith Hill (dun dun dunnnn). The trick to getting up the hill in less than perfect conditions is to get enough speed before you being the climb. That was going to be the plan for the two of us until...two deer jumped out in front of me. I slammed on my breaks (I've hit a few deer in my day and know what they can do). It was right then and there that the morning caravan came to a halt. I felt bad that not only did I kill the momentum for me, but for Don as well. So back and forth we went until we got to the top. Which brings us to where we are now.
