I, too, saw a startling number of idiots on my ride to the station this morning. We got an inch or two of light snow overnight, the first snow this winter, and it brought out the snow plow guys in force. I realize they make a living from this, but there was no need for them today. The snow didn't stick to the bigger roads at all, and where it turned the pavement white it wasn't enough to cause anyone to slip. So the snow plow guys were in a big hurry to plow it at before it melted. Result: the streets that are usually quiet and deserted at 5AM were full of speeding pickup trucks mounted with snow plows driving erratically. Oy.

Other than that, a nice ride.
