“I’d set the alarm for five o’clock, thinking I’d beat the morning traffic rush that could gridlock commuters for hours. As a result, I made great time and cleared the northernmost suburbs within an hour of leaving my house. Granted, I’d checked my rear-view mirrors more frequently than I usually do, but since I hadn’t once spotted a car or truck that was marked with a “We’re tailing you” billboard, I was feeling pretty confident that my escape from Savage was unobserved.

If the temperatures fell, however, and the highway iced, I could be in for a long, and very slow, drive to the North Shore. As it was, the snow stopped south of Pine City, and the traffic was surprisingly light.
