Actually, I don’t hate winter as much as I hate the way jackasses drive in this kind of ugly weather we’re having. We got five inches of snow at my office today. Needless to say, it was a very long drive home today, and during my entire 60 minute commute (usually 30 or so), I was just hoping I’d make it home alive. not because of my driving ability, but because of the way other morons were driving in the blizzard conditions that swallowed Highway 97 from Bend to Sunriver. It was dark and horrible, and the commute home tomorrow will probably be worse as it’s snowing hard in Sunriver right now.
While I like the folks I work with in Sunriver and I enjoy what I do out there, this time of year I really hate my job because of this. Driving in fear of your life because you’re surrounded by big ol’ SUVs that are driving far too fast and you’re driving a small, 20-year-old, sedan isn’t all that much fun.
But I rant about this every year, so I’ll quit. I need to reinstall Firefox before I go to bed as my profile borked itself.

Your sooo right Jake. Some people are sooo stupid, the way they drive in these conditions is totally and utterly disgraceful. I mean, no wonder why so many people have died in car accidents. Sure they are all driving carelessly. They just want to get home fast. Its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disgraceful.
Its amazing the number of people that think that just because they’re in a truck or other vehicle that has 4WD, they can go as fast as they want. Don’t they realize they are not just endangering themselves but also all the other drivers on ther road.
I hate that you have to deal with jackasses, but I’d love to steal some of that snow. It’s in the 90s here! I can’t wait to move back to Bend!!!!!!!!!
Hang in there. 🙂
