Midwest Aquatics and Exotics

We are getting our first snow of the season today. Traffic is snarled, because people act like they have never driven in snow before. I really don't understand that about people. I don't mind snow, it's rather beautiful the way it covers the landscape. It's a reminder that winter is just two weeks away for us, I try to forget that fact. I detest the cold, and the ice. I hate the feeling of slipping. I'm not a control freak, but that's one thing I insist on being sure about. Why is it that people tend to make more about something than is really there? It's common knowledge that if it's cold and wet that the streets might be slick. So why do so many cars wind up in the ditch with the first snow. You can travel down the highway and count one car after the other right into the ditch like a great wind blew them there. I just don't understand sometimes.
