*It's patently obvious that most towns have exhausted their snow removal budgets early this season. Maybe it's just the towns I drive through on my way to work, but there was a seriously shitty job done "clearing" the roads... Most of the way was like riding on gravel, only with the added thrill of no traction.
*Speaking lost of traction, what the hell happened to road salt? Here's a tip: Tossing eight thousand tons of sand on top of ICE doesn't help anyone, it just makes life treacherous for motorcyclists in the spring...
*Saw a travel mug in the middle of an intersection this morning. Must have been someone who put it on their roof, got in the car, and took off without bringing it back in. Sure glad I've never done that... [sarcasm]
*I am starting to hate BMW cars with a blinding passion, as they apparently infuse them with some sort of chemical that compells their owners to drive like complete fucking morons in anything less than 100% clear conditions.
*Want to feel like a giant screaming idiot? Prepare for the snowstorm by gassing up the lawn tractor (with snow-thrower attachment on PTO), then carefully starting the tractor and letting it run so that it's all ready to go for the next day, then carefully position it in the garage, and then stupidly leave the fucking ignition on so you kill the fucking battery. Fortunately, the battery is relatively new so a quick jump with the charger and all was right with the world. But man, if you could bottle that feeling of dread I experienced when I walked into the garage and saw the ignition light feebly shining... It's very similar to that feeling you get when you close the locked car door with the keys still in the ignition...
That is all.

I learned the hard way to put my mug on the hood instead of the roof...
