Snowed in the Car


With the sleeper cross on indefinite hold for me my agent sent me on a fact finding mission to the origins of the dan river bedding factory in Danville Virginia.

I packed a pair of man pajamas and it was a good thing. The east coast got pounded by a snow storm and I was stranded in the car. Wouldn't you know it, I had to sleep overnight in the car. Not a problem for an international pro-dozer. Here's a couple tips that can make a cold night in the car a lot dreamier.

1. Make sure you always travel with an extra set of silk thermal underwear tucked away in your trunk.
2. If you have a hatch-back or SUV always flatten the back seat and sleep in the cargo hold. You will have almost enough room to extend your entire body. This is better for the spine. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE BACK SEAT. Bad for the spine. If you're driving a regular sedan then opt to entirely recline (or until comfortable) the driver's seat and sleep there. This will be safer in case the car comes into motion during the night as you are immediately in position to take control.
