- You're just *trying* to provoke me, aren't you? Today in the Dallas/Fort
- Worth metro area, it rained. Then, while the roads were still wet, it
- froze (i.e. 30F, -1C). Over in Fort Worth (~800,000 in population, I
- think), they have ONE truck for sanding the roads. Combine all that with
- the typical Southerner's inability to drive on icy roads (which are hard
- for *anyone* to drive on), and you get over 300 traffic accidents including
- 2 fatalities, all in one evening. Happy New Years!
-
- So, I don't want to hear complaining about hot weather. Actually, you're
- not complaining about hot weather, you just *think* you are. What you're
- really complaining about is *normal* weather. Hot weather is when it's
- 105F (that's around 41C, I'd guess).
-
- So there.
-
- Peeve: People who complain about things they actually have really good,
- like my roommate, who has been known to complain that he didn't do well on
- a test only to find out later that he got a perfect score.
-
- Peeve: That I just don't feel like this post of mine is very original and
- maybe I'm just using it to vent frustration. Please, nobody respond that
- this is also your peeve, then I'll think it's true.
-
- Gosh, it certainly is fun to complain, and to be negative.
-
- I need to stop making paragraphs that consist of a single simple statement.
-
- I think I will.
-
- Adios,
- Logan
