I mean, what's the deal with this weather? I literally woke up this morning, looked out the window, and saw zero snowfall. As per my daily self-sanitation routine, I hopped in the shower, toweled off, and walked towards my closet. Upon glancing out the ventana once more, I noticed some sort of distorted, disruptive disturbance (man, I've been on an illiteration kick as of late...all you need to do is read my latest Org. Psych. essay) illuminated against the streetlight outside. Yep, you guessed it--Indiana Blizzard 2k9 version 2.0. I kid you not, in mere minutes there must have been 3cm of accumulation outside...and I'm talking 20 minutes tops.
On my drive over to IUPUI, it continued snowing like something related to "the dickens". I knew it would be a waste of my time to jump on I-65, so being the sneaky guy that I am, I took the covert route through the 'hood. Traversing by the Naval Armory and Riverside Golf Course, my range of visibility extended no further than a couple of meters...good thing the Matrix has all-wheel drive...NOT! Fortunately, other drivers seemed to be exercising a great deal of caution which was a welcome change from Indiana Blizzard 2k9 version 1.0. Maybe it was the fact that this mini-blizzard was so unexpected, but I witnessed not a single motorist driving like a dipshit. Even the presumably snow-prepared SUVs and trucks seemed to reassess their normal sense of invincibility when it comes to...well...just about anything short of an avalanche.
Eventually, I made it to the Union building sans significant troubles but with twenty additional minutes of travel time. All in all, not too shabby. Hopefully, this new 'pow' melts off before the upcoming weekend as I've been in desparate need for a road ride over 4 hours. If not, fuck it...let's go bowling.
The Dude abides.

I wonder if you can shred on that pow?
ReplyDeleteFollow my blog please... it's lonely.
I sound so much more learned when I use the metric system...this is just one of many cases where I choose to ignore my anglo roots.
