re: #151 RealityBasedSteve

Several years ago we had a pretty good ice then snow storm here in TN. I went out walking and came across a car with front wheel busted off at an angle (ball joints snapped) resting against the curb. It was obvious from the paths on the road that whoever was driving it had been doing doughnuts, spinning it on the ice. I just had to chuckle at the stupid.

My daughter, who is here from Tennessee for the holidays and was in Lubbock to see her aunt last week, claims that Tennesseeans are much better ice and bad road drivers than Lubbockites. That is easy to believe: it seems likely to me that the people of Tonga would be better ice and snow drivers than Lubbockites, even though Tonga has probably not had ice or snow in its entire geological history and certainly not in recorded history.
