Snow? What is that?

It's this funny stuff comes down from the sky about once a year... maybe
twice in a really cold winter.


... The only time we get freezing precipitation in
Dallas it is some sort of ice storm. Fortunately, that is a fairly
rare occurrence.

On days like today, I feel as if moving further south would be a good
idea... but then, will the people there think *I'm* a Yankee??


.... I will say that no one around here knows how to
drive, rain or shine. I was in Italy in early January and I found
people were much better drivers than I am used to seeing around here.
Then again, if we were driving vehicles not much larger than golf
carts, perhaps people would be better drivers here, as well.

Scariest traffic I ever saw was in Athens, Greece. People were doing 60
mph on the sidewalks to get around cars that had stopped for red lights.
When I was in Italy, red lights meant "speed up & blow your horn."

Sometimes I wonder if anybody anywhere really knows how to drive. I
prefer walking, but to get to the coast from here would take too long.
