Just walk fool.
Excuse my language. I have been trying to drive home for the past three hours through the snow, despite living only 3 miles from work. This seriously blows.
"We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." -O'Brien, Nineteen Eighty-Four

That sucks dude. We had shitty weather today as well but nothing I couldn't drive home through.

I miss that kind of shit sometimes. Out here, I think they recorded the weather forecast in 1970 and just replay it every morning on the radio.
"Highs today in the mid 70's to lower 80's, scattered showers windward and mauka, trade winds up to 15 miles an hour, and lows in the upper 60's to mid 70's tonite."
Not that I''m complaining, but I do miss badass weather systems.

Been there, done that.
Many years ago I had a van. (Didn't all hippies own a van at one time?) Anyway, on my way home from work it snowed and snowed. Even the city buses were having difficulty so I stopped at a few bus stops and picked up the folks. They had to stand bent over in the back but were happy for the lift and I was happy as their weight provided traction for the back tires. :-)
It took me hours to get home but I made it.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

No joke. I ended up ditching my car at a parking lot downtown and hiking 1 mile back to work in 25 degree weather (~10 degrees with windchill), wearing only canvas shoes and a light jacket. Needless to say, I was not prepared for this storm and now I'm camping out in my office. Beats being on the freeway - I have a view of it and northbound is seriously fucked.
