Mild Weather Brings Them Out

This winter has been crazy all over. Here in the Mid-Atlantic we are having a crazy mild winter that so far has barely left any snow. Lots of southern air up from the Gulf with a few colder days every now and then from the NW. It's driving me crazy because I should be able to drive my '72 this winter. BUT...they still keep drizzling that cussed salt brine every time they predict the slightest possibility of snow within a couple hundred miles. Then, we have also not been getting much of any rain. My rule has been not to drive till after the second good rain once the last salt was spread. Just hasn't happened that way.

I don't think a week has passed I haven't seen motorcycles out and about. Last weekend was the big cycle show at the state fairgrounds. It's the first time I've seen people ride to it. There must have been 200 bikes ridden there. Today was t-shirt weather. I saw a topless deuce and a quarter rolling along with three people wearing t-shirts. Ok, we all have something to say about our strange weather, such as drought stricken CA getting all the rain they've missed just this week... it seems.

But that's not really what this thread is all about. Here I am afraid to take my tough 4wd truck out for fear of it turning to crust and at the Safeway today I see this beast in the lot. Some grocery gitter, ey?
