There are idiots everywhere who don't know what the fast lane is for, etc; but KC is special when it comes to driving in any weather except warm & sunny.... it's like driving in Texas when it snows, except they have an excuse.

I blame Katie Horner.

I know. I'm just ****ing with the Missouri people. It's my duty as an Olathean.

Is that what your mom is calling it these days?

Eh, I tried.

And while we're complaining, where's the summit? I bet that I go there, I don't see any summit in that town. What kind of false advertising is going on there?

Snow is cool as long as you aren't driving in it on Shrooms or LSD or something. Could imagine how awful that would be?

Omaha is a terrible place to drive, I do not miss it at all.

Why is it that wherever a person lives, that place has the worst drivers in the world??

Why is it that every city has the worlds best BBQ??

I thought LS did a pretty good job today. I know they preemptively laid down salt and I know for a fact that it helped because I drive from my city into LS and watch the road turn from snow and ice in my town to blacktop in LS where they've put down salt & sand mix.

I thought about that for a while, and then I started travelling... there are idiots everywhere, but KC seems to be in the middle when it comes to bad weather driving. They get the same bad weather every year, yet it's like they're relearning how to drive in it each year... if I ever live south of KC, it'll be far enough south that it never snows.

They suck at the whole fast lane concept.... they really don't get it. However, when I lived here last winter (and the one time it snowed last week), it was handled much better than KC. The city didn't shut down, traffic doesn't get 100x worse because it snows a quarter of an inch or it starts raining...

I grew up on the MO side... I live on the KS side at the moment.

It's more clear now - than ever. You've spent time in Atlanta. ;)
