Hey! How about all that snow! And man, that's a long commute, eh?! And how about the people who call in to a radio station so they can bitch on the air about how everyone on the roads is a total dumbass except them! I just LOVE those guys! Let's all just pull over and let 'em through!

Seriously, this winter has already taught me a lot. It taught me that when I'm sitting around wishing it would snow, what I really should be wishing for is just enough snow so that it looks pretty outside and that I get a little something to shovel. It also taught me that I'm just fine at, say, 18 below, but once it gets to 22 below I actually start whimpering as I wait for the bus. Whimpering! Who does that?

And I'm really not sure what to think about this whole Pawlenty Plowgate deal. I know that roads aren't getting plowed, but I guess I don't know why. Part of me wants to believe the problem is related to shortsighted budget cuts, but another part of me wants to believe that it's really just a bunch of MNDoT employees stickin' it to 'em. Either way, it's a good thing god created jeeps. Vroom vroom!
