We didn't get nearly as much as what y'all are getting pounded with, but I made sure that I got everything done Monday that had to be done for a few days because I was not about to attempt to go into work at Job 1 yesterday, since MODOT does a crappy job on MO 100 on one stretch climbing up the bluffs that's full of curves and that people don't seem to know how to drive it.

Oh, and another sign that the world is coming to an end: snow daleks! http://is.gd/870LM (via @bonniegrrl)

I think biggest problem is not how roads are or aren't plowed, but how some drivers think they can drive in ANYTHING. Grrrr...
