NM Winter Driving Fun

A big winter storm descended on Los Alamos this morning. I had to turn on the 4WD on my way to work to prevent mad fishtailing. Unfortunately, I got stuck behind a liquid nitrogen tanker truck going up the steep hill on Pajarito Road. This is a one mile stretch of significant grade, and the tanker was doing approximately 1 mile per hour. I know this, because it took an hour to get up that hill. Fun times.

Nina calls to report that this morning, at a gas station, a woman drove off with the pump handle still in her car, stopped when she noticed it, then just kept going. Then, a guy with a PBR in his hand lit up a cigarette while waiting for his tank to fill. Sweet.

Update: it snowed so much they let us out of work at 2! woo
