Just another Minnesota morning.
Just another Minnesota morning. Take note, Atlanta. I made it to work in my tiny Versa and the roads haven't been plowed at all yet.
It is actually snowing a lot harder than Google makes this look.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
I was going to make a post like "We got 3 inches of snow this morning and it delayed my commute by roughly zero minutes."
ReplyDeleteMine was about 10 minutes slow. I was still on time.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying that people who live in areas where they deal with a certain kind of inclement weather every year are better able to do so than people who live in areas where they deal with it once a decade?
ReplyDeleteI'll take "the bleeding obvious" for 200, Alex.
No he's saying we're badass.
ReplyDeleteGive us the winter driving, James Olchak, we've got so little. The south can take some ribbing from us northerners about driving and laugh when we're in the snow and it's 70 degrees down there.
ReplyDeleteSure, it's 70 in November, but in June through September it's 95 degrees with 95% humidity. WHY DOES THE WHOLE TOWN SMELL LIKE FEET
ReplyDeleteIt's just not badass to walk around soaked in sweat for 1/4 of the year, I guess.
Hear hear, James Olchak . I'd rather trudge through snow several months of the year than marinate in my own perspiration an equivalent amount of time...
ReplyDeleteI thought that's what porches, rocking chairs, hand fans, mint juleps were for?
ReplyDeleteShit, maybe. My family's from Pittsburgh.
