Weather Wimps!
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2009 9:37 pm
We got three freakin' inches of snow (if that much), and the whole DMV shuts down. I wrote on my Facebook page today that I was "thinking of all the folks who conveniently stayed home today", mainly my friends who are government employees, LOL. Love that liberal leave!
Obama got some flak from folks in this area the last time it sprinkled, because he spoke about his daughters never having had a snow day. He called us "weather wimps", If I recall correctly. AT least that's what they were saying on the radio. What I saw on TV didn't have him saying that.
Well, we are weather wimps. I blogged on that the day after Obama supposedly told the truth about us. DC is infantile when it comes to snow, I swear. You'd think we were in the Himalayas or something.
President Obama joked about how DC gets paralyzed during bad weather. His daughters had never missed a day of school due to snow. Some DMV residents took issue (probably those who can't drive to begin with) with what he said. Others agreed and laughed. One woman went on and on about poor cold children who didn't have coats and who had to walk to school. Um, they have those in Chicago, too.
This is what I've noticed about drivers in the DMV:
MD drivers drive fast as hell. They will run you over. I used to babysit in MD, and I swear those folks were in a hurry to get home and fight with their spouses. Be careful driving in MD. You might lose your back bumper to the car behind you.
VA drivers act like they have Miss Daisy in the back seat. But that's just because of our State Troopers who like to sodomize VA residents with unncessary tickets.
DC drivers are used to driving in a maze of one way streets and circles. So when they get out of the District, they still drive like they don't know where they're going. I get lost in DC all the time. I tried to get to the highway from Southeast once, and ended up on Embassy Row. Those who know DC will laugh.
Not to mention the folks who drive drunk, drive without a license because they're illegal (and when they hit your ass, you'd better have more than just liability insurance...goodness, that's all I have), drive immaturely (15 with a cell in your ear is NOT cool! Any age with a cell phone in your ear is not cool!), and just shouldn't be driving at all (when you can no longer see the lines in the road, turn in your license, because slowing down won't help). Is it no wonder that the roads are a zoo when it's anything other than "partly cloudy" outside?
This area looks for a reason to stay home. Weirdest day off from school I've ever had: I wake up to a beautiful blue sky. I was living in Southern VA with my dad. He comes in and tells me there's no school. I ask why, he says, "it's too cold". WTF? Oh well, I went back to bed.
Speaking of bed, my son is snoring. He sounds JUST like his father, only much quieter. I gotta ask his pediatrician about that...
