I don’t normally hold much stock in theories that combine shakey mathematical equations with psychological pronouncements, particularly when yesterday wasn’t such a bad day, but… today, not so hot. The planets seemed determined to align in such a way as to prevent me from getting even the simplest task finished; case-in-point: note the time on this blog post. Combine that with the current weather and road conditions and you have a formula that practically guarantees a cranky Tania. I will be back tomorrow with something more closely resembling a proper post, but before I leave I’d like to ask one question:
Why, oh why, oh why do people in Regina drive as though they’d never seen snow or a patch of ice before in their entire lives? I mean, I’d expect this sort of behaviour from the drivers in, oh, let’s say southern Texas who were “treated” to a freak snow storm on Christmas Eve 2004. (My in-laws were down south that year and regaled us with stories of closed roads, bridges and damaged fruit and vegetable crops.) But in Regina, seriously people, take a look around you, it’s winter here for half the year!
p.s. Buy a windshield scraper, you hoser!
