ReplyDeleteMaybe it's similar to what happens in a driving snow storm. Many will pull over and stop, waiting for better weather, or never leave home in the first place. Other more adventurous types will press on, cautiously, but keep going nonetheless. Some of those who do will not make it while others will but those who stop go nowhere.
