The Madness Comes

March Madness is upon us.
We keep getting more snow. I've heard different opinions on how much more we'd need to get to break the record, which I've heard is around 94" but I don't know if that's right and I don't care enough to do any research.
There's a ton of snow out there, is all I know.
Seriously, some of the banks lining intersections are so tall that you can't even see if a bus is coming. It's dangerous.
Josie passed her permit test and will start behind the wheel soon.
Yikes.
When Zack found out, he said "I'd better get my license, then."
He's had his permit for years but has had no interest in actually driving, much less getting his licence. He takes the bus everywhere, which is much cheaper and pretty easy. With the price of gas over $3.55, taking the bus seems like the way to go. If we really hit $5.00 by summer, I'll be biking a lot more. The last time this happened, I got saddle packs for my bike big enough to carry a gallon of milk. I'm set. Of course, the pot holes on my street are so huge they make biking impossible; have to use the sidewalk.
The pot holes!!
My street is by far the worst in our end of town. There are several as big and deep as bathtubs and they're all connected by a series of holes ranging from big skillet to cannon ball. For at least two miles, the street looks like it's been ground zero of a bombing raid.
Clearly, asphalt is not the way to go in this climate. Instead of wasting all our time, creativity and resources on trying to force 'clean energy' like wind and solar power to do things they can't do, let's come up with a street surface that's impervious to ice, shall we?
Someone will come up with the technology, patent it, sell it and become hugely rich and the Democrats will dedicate all their time to demonizing that person. And the Republicans will roll over and play dead.
It's just what they do.
Shakespeare was wrong; it's not the lawyers who need to go first.
Oh, wait....if we got rid of all the lawyers, we'd have gotten rid of 4/5th of the politicians, wouldn't we?
Problem solved.
