So do they just not treat the roads at all before ice storms in the south? Is that considered a wimpy northern thing around these parts?
Literally cars sliding all over the road. Hitting guardrails and each other. Easily avoidable if you just put some salt down. Might be something to think about!
I’m also watching drivers speed down the road like it’s sunny and warm out. Perfect combination. No salt on the road and drivers who apparently don’t understand that ice is slippery.
Not buying the “it doesn’t happen often enough to prepare for” excuses. Freezing rain is not uncommon in Nashville. We aren’t living on the equator. You’re going to get winter weather in the winter. No excuse to be so unprepared year after year.

We are told that the DC riot killed five people. Sometimes seven deaths are linked to the riot. But here’s the truth, as far as we’ve been officially told:
Of seven deaths, two were officers who committed suicide after the riot. We have never been given any evidence or any reason to believe that their suicides had anything to do with the riot. This is simply an assumption that many have made.
Of the five who died in or shortly after the riot, one was a man with a pre existing condition who suffered a heart attack. Another suffered a stroke at some point that day and died in a hospital.
People comparing this to the famous hot coffee lawsuit against McDonald's. That lawsuit was justified. McDonald's was serving near-boiling coffee and knew it was unsafe. The woman who sued was nearly killed by her burns. This moron, on the other hand, put glue in her own hair.
The woman in the McDonald's lawsuit just wanted them to pay her ER bills. They refused and so she sued and won. Then McDonald's ran a disinformation campaign for years to skew public perception of the case. They were totally in the wrong every step of the way.
Everyone knows coffee is hot, obviously. But no sane person wants their coffee so hot that it could permanently disfigure or potentially kill them. That's how hot the McDonald's coffee was. And they kept it that way after hundreds of injuries.
It's strange how we haven't heard more about the circumstances surrounding Officer Sicknick's tragic death. The story we hear repeated on social media is that he was "beat to death" by rioters. But nobody has been charged with that crime, and no evidence has been presented for it
"Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said."
"According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true."
This is a horrifying article. Her kid is asymptomatic and will probably be fine like almost every other child whose gotten it. Yet she admits she's scared him senseless over it and she admits she's done it mainly because she's scared he'll get her sick.
I'm sorry but I don't want to hear @AOC's tearful descriptions of her trauma from the Capitol Hill riots when this woman couldn't possibly give less of a shit about the regular Americans who were brutally victimized by BLM rioting in the summer
She romanticized rioting when it didn't happen to her. Then the shoe is on the other foot and she wants us to cry alongside her, pitying her, while pretending that she didn't directly participate in the normalization of exactly this kind of violence. No. Sorry. No way.
Did AOC ever express a word of condemnation towards the BLM rioters who punched this innocent woman and beat her repeatedly with a wooden board? No, no she didn’t. She didn’t care. Still doesn’t.
