If he had just played it through, with only a few flourishes, it wouldn't have been bad.

I want to know what happened to the air-brake lines to begin with.
Did they break because they weren't drain'n water out and froze or what?
I too want to know why the brakes weren't caged. It's something every driver has to know.
I held a class 1 CDL for almost 30yrs. There're lots of questions unanswered here.
Like-not see'n any tire chains.......

From the CHP " the driver had jackknifed at the top of the grade. When the driver had lost it at the top of the hill, he had broke the air lines to his rear trailer. "
From the control of the tractor, I would say he had it chained. If he had managed to straighten up and get going again after jackknifing, and locking up the brakes on the trailer, he might not have had any chance to cage the brakes.

Joe needs to get out of that temperate climate more often.
I
grew upwas raised in N. San Diego County, been up in Sonoma Co. since about '85 (with 3 years in Lake Co.). Down south I've seen hail, rain, snow (didn't stick), in the morning, then sunny and in the low 90s mid-afternoon. That was out in the Anza-Borrego area.Up here I've seen about the same.

Talk about calm and maintaining awareness!
"That could have been detrimental."

Poor bad guy. He didn’t stand a chance. He hadn’t even brought a real gun to the robbery. It turned out to be plastic.

Horse head profile looks more like a griffin
I was thinking "dragon." Could be either given artistic license.
Years ago someone had turned the horse to sinister and put armour on it:
Still ugly. Also makes 'em look like a subset of the Bruins.

If I had given 3 months notice (heck of a long notice if you want my opinion, which you likely don't) and got hauled in and given three weeks, I would have told 'em, "OK, if you are going to play games, I'm out of here. Send my check within 3 days." Then packed up and walked out.

He is close, but not quite right. The Bill of Rights IS part of the Constitution, the amendments are things added to it.
The Preamble to the Bill of Rights:
The First 10 Amendments to the
Constitution as Ratified by the StatesDecember 15, 1791
PreambleCongress OF THE United States
begun and held at the City of New York, on Wednesday
the Fourth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine.THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution
RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all or any of which Articles, when ratified by three fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution; viz.:
ARTICLES in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution.
Then we have, in 1943, the US Supreme Court restating the purpose:
"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."
: Robert H. Jackson, US Supreme Court Justice West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)
It takes our basic civil rights off of the political bargaining table.

Bet those rear trailer tires had one heck of a flat spot. Driver is really lucky he/she didn't blow a tire.
Riding on ice. I doubt that there was a lot of wear on them

That was their original in 1960. In '61 they moved to San Diego and dropped the L and A from it.

Truckee, CA
"http://fox40.com/2017/01/12/chp-officers-escort-drifting-fedex-on-snowy-i-80/"NEVADA COUNTY — Video posted by the California Highway Patrol office in Truckee shows a FedEx truck drifting along a snow-dusted Interstate 80 Thursday.
The video was shared more than 216,000 times in just eight hours, and got more than 6 million views.
In a comment on the video, the CHP explains what happened:
“OK the rumor mill is spinning on this video, and the theories have been great. So the Story, the driver had jackknifed at the top of the grade. When the driver had lost it at the top of the hill, he had broke the air lines to his rear trailer. This caused the brakes on the rear trailer to lock up. We arrived on scene and were informed the tow was going to be extended. So we asked the driver if he could get himself going and we would give him space to get down to the next open shoulder on the Interstate. 20 minutes later he was off the highway and we were open with flowing traffic.”

Yeah, it could use a little touch up.
But THIS???

So, if I nail one foot to the floor and then start running around in 6400 mil circles, does that make me a big wheel?
Nope, that would make you a
