Well then that will be the one thing Tacomans had going for them: really good eye sight. Wish I could spot Libby across 8 states during an apocalyptic wash out More »

Metro buses were a mess again, today. They stacked up stalled along the Spokane street exit and slid all over the place, according to the Twitterverse. More »

I don't find the weather created accidents all that funny, but last year they did provide some amusing irony. Transit agencies advise people to use transit rather than use their cars when it's snowing but during last years storm the articulated buses spun out and blocked the interstate highway sytem for hours.

A long time ago when I was just a renter.I lived downtown in an apartment.I had a good view.It was more entertaining watching car crashes going down hills than watching Cable TV during snowy/icy conditions.Well one does feel sorry for the owner/driver for his/her loss but it was still entertaining to watch.In conjunction I had a police scanning radio so that was fun to listen to also.Fortunately I never saw a pedestrian hit nor any injuries though.I wouldn't be entertained by that.

I bet the Mayans did envision snow. I bet they used mammoths as sled beasts of burden during the late eras of the ice ages. More »

The Mayans might have forgotten the past of their ancestors crossing the Aleutian land bridge from Asia.Some of them stayed up North and became Eskimos and they know about snow. Me I'm staying at home.Did see some minor flurries not much though so far. More »
