I drive to work a lot more now than I did with my previous job. The old job had me spending hours on the Metra every week. The thing that amazes me during my morning drives was the amount of people that would ride a bicycle in the snow. In fact it seemed like more people would ride a bike when it snowed. It’s not very fun to be half awake and worry about these nuts on the street riding bikes in the snow and ice in the morning. So now I’m predicting that they will put the bikes away and start riding the bus since the snow is melting.

The weather here makes it feel like I live in Minnesota or something. Now we have to deal with a road salt shortage. You think somebody would have figured out we needed more salt a little sooner. To make up for the warning, I got a voicemail from an automated message that sounded worse than a speak and spell and the voice told me to be careful because Aurora is running out of salt and it’s snowing. Thanks for the warning crappy automated message.
