Snow? Who needs it?

Every bit as much snow on the street.

Honestly, whoever says they "like" the snow, obviously does not have to drive in it or work in it. It is highly overrated. It is slick as cooking oil on kitchen tile and for some reason which I can not understand, the concept of speed and weight of a vehicle, stopping distance and pretty much anything you have to do, "all of  sudden", are all a factor when driving on it. I have a Commercial truck driving license and the driving techniqes they teach you should be common practice for all drivers. Meaning, I think everyone who requires a drivers license should have to go through a class that encompasses these life saving practices. Example: Reduce speed by half if traveling a snow covered or snow packed road. Speed limits here in Colorado are 75 mph on the highway. Thats 37.5 mph or lets just show some respect and do 30. I have been on these highways with snow present and been ran off the road by people going 60 mph. These people have lived here all their lives and still don't know how to drive in the snow. It is absolutely amazing at best. If you are in for a thrill, please come visit Colorado in the winter and drive these streets with snow on the ground. Unless you are not human, your "oh shit" meter will be pegged.

Why can't all days be like this.

Been a while since i've been on but here is what I have picked up on. The new battlefield 3 is a great game. It added the ability to lie down prone. It has added the ability to have up to 20 of your loyal constituants join you on the battlefield. BF2 only allowed up to 4 people. I think it takes a lot of skill to play that game and it has run off most people because they cant run around and just kill everyone which for the life of me sounds boring as hell. Even my clan members are never on. I have played with a couple of them but as a whole, I dont see any of them anymore. This is enough to make go back to bf2 which believe me is a great game. I went back for just a minute or two and thats where everyone is. Too bad. I trully like BF3 and I think it is a shame that everyone has gone back to 2. I guess I will have too also if i want to play with the people who make the game fun.
