Over there Bob could probably buy five Suzuki Jimnys for the price of a single Subaru Wagon.

Aye, more like 2.5/8 Jimneys.......

$53,000??? That's crazytalk. But it is a WRX. Same car can be had here in NY for between $28,000 and  $33,000. Mine isn't a WRX though and I got it for $21,000 three years ago. See - very affordable unless you get all extra fancy/sporty.

I could get a Jeep Cherokee cheaper. If I had the money, of course. Stuff like that is expensive in the UK, although there are enough of 'em running about, so some folk have plenty of dosh.......b'stards!!!!

Mind you, I'm philosophical about it. I have a car, and that's more'n some folk, so I should be greatful....who am I kidding....

Bob, you could always order them to Stand and Deliver, and nick all their lupins.

So normally it takes me about 10 minutes to drive between work and home.  However, the fluffy white shit started falling yesterday. 


When I drove to work last night, it took me almost 30 minutes.  10 minutes of that were spent just getting out of the damn driveway (it goes up a hill). 

When I drove home this morning, it took me over 40.  Almost 10 minutes of that was spent just getting the last 200 yards to my house (it too goes up a hill). 


Apparently we're at 9 inches so far, and it's going to snow all day yet.  Ugh.

so you had to go uphill both ways in the snow....

you are so ready to be an old man ranting at kids.

"when I was your age we didnt have 4 wheel drive or hover cars!  I had a bobsled team of hamsters that I had to eat when I was trapped at the end of the driveway and couldnt get home!"
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Yeah, I realized how that sounded after I posted it.  "When I was your age..."

Dude, you're so lucky.  I'm still waiting for our first significant snowfall of the year over here.  My speciality is car skating and if I don't mind saying so I'm pretty good at it.  But yes, commuting to work in the snow is no picnic.
