Driving Conditions

Everyone has probably seen the electronic signs on the highway that flash all sorts of fascinating messages while you're cruising down the road at 80 miles an hour. Well, maybe not drivers in the south as I believe electricity is needed to make them work.

Tonight the sign on the local stretch of our interstate told me "Winter Driving Conditions."

Really? No shit.

So that's what that white stuff is falling out of the sky and collecting on the road and on my windshield? How come it never says "Summer Driving Conditions" or "Spring Driving Conditions"?

Here's one of those McNasty rules. If it's winter time, and ESPECIALLY if it's snowing, I suggest all drivers be prepared for "Winter Driving Conditions." If you're not, then you my friend are a jackass and should not be driving a motorized vehicle of any kind.

Another one of my favorites as I drive down to Denver is "Expect Delays."

Really? No shit.

I'm surprised to think that we might have traffic delays in a major metropolitan area that only has one major north/south interstate for access. And my favorite part of this is that we're paying for these signs. The sign, the pole and the electricity.

At least make them funny. Tomorrow I'd like to see one that says: "Yes, you paid for this dip-shit!"
