Ohhhh the weather outside is frightful, and the drivers are dumb as a doornail. So let ist snow let it snow let it snow!!!


So that impromptu singing, as bad as it is coming from me, does have a point. We recently got our first "major" snowfall of the season here. Got about, I dunno, 3 inches of snow tops (man I miss getting +100in a year) so I'm pumped, it was snowingly beautifully and I was pumped completely. So it worked out that the next day was heading into work and I SWEAR the intelligence of the people driving is directly proportional to the temperature! For instance on the way to work was driving on a 6 lane high way (three lanes either direction) and I'm heading in on the far left lane and than suddenly traffic started coming to a halt.... odd... after a couple minutes I found out why. Someones car had come to an absolute halt in the far left lane, the person put on their blinkers, got out and left the vehicle. (Note: they couldn't have gotten it off onto the left shoulder as their isn't one yet, lots of construction). I was FLOORED.


However thats not the end of the tale, I wish it were. In my way home I saw three OTHER things that left me pondering. A gentleman was apparently hauling a matress and boxspring on top of the back of his pickup.... well one of the items didn't stay. It ended up across the middle and right lanes. ::blink blink:: Ok and it keeps going, another car had it's gas cover open and the cap just flaping around. Lastly when I finally got to my exit I was greeted with the flashing of a bout 4 police cars and a couple fire trucks that were on the scene of an accident, I hope no one got hurt but it just amazed me that THAT many problems on the roads existed.


PLEASE be careful on the roads over the next month or so, i'm guessing it's not going to get any better any time soon


Beyond that life is fairly quiet, not much to tell. Work, finding new oddities with state, I'm still single, and the world is still flat! Going to be finishing up one of my open source projects, a dynamic dns updater, think I'm going to call it dnsUp2Date, and if I'm lucky I'll have it done in the next week or so. I'll start a new section of the website for it when I'm a bit closer to it's finish.


I miss fresh seafood, snow and an ocean
