Blinded by the Snow

In the few years I've been a visitor on this planet I've noticed one important detail about most people: THEY ARE COMPLETE MORONS!

It's March. It's snowing outside (of course because snow inside would be just plain silly). Cars and trucks and roads and ditches and guard rails and weeds are covered in snow. A great percentage of cars on the road that I've seen, hopefully with a driver of some sort behind the wheel, cause me to cringe. Why you may ask? I can't see the driver through the thick blanket of snow covering every window of their vehicle!!

If I happened to catch a glimpse through the tiny spot in the middle of the windshield on the driver's side would I see a child driving? Did they quickly clean off one spot to see through just before sneaking the car from home without mom and dad knowing or is it in fact more likely that it's mom and/or dad in the car? How is it that these people survive on this planet anyway? They go through life in a huge hurry, not a worry on their mind, except getting there fast regardless of the danger they've put everyone, including themselves in.

Earlier this week I happened to leave the house; it's rare but yes I did leave to get some things done that had to be done. Whilst sitting in the vehicle awaiting the return of my beautiful bride from behind the sliding glass doors of a small grocery store to obtain a succulent treat called chocolate my eyes captured a glimpse of a white beast zooming through the parking lot without a care in the world, except to get wherever quickly. I then noticed a dark spot. Could it have been a skin lesion on the bright white skin of this beast? Should I call out to this beast and yell 'hey you should see a doctor about that' or should I let it alone? The latter was my choice as I noticed the beast had black tires which told me this was no beast, it was a car that some MORON swiped a spot in the vast white snow cover on the windshield to see directly in front of them but of course no where else. I hoped the approaching train would notice the idiot and stop before plowing into them and luckily for the driver of the beast, I mean car, the driver turned the other direction avoiding the train altogether. I wonder now if that same driver is the one that lost control of their vehicle, crossed the median going 65MPH and plowed into 2 vehicles, of which I can only hope they were smart enough to clear the snow from their deadly weapons unlike the beast's driver did. Probably not one in the same but very likely.

Isn't it bad enough that this planet decides when to give us snow, when to melt it, when to freeze it and when to evaporate it and there are people dumb enough to drive in conditions that any sane person would at least clean their entire car off so that when they lost control doing 80MPH they wouldn't have to say that they couldn't see? Get it together people of this planet before my people all arrive and take over to show you how much of a moron you all are.

Or am I the moron thinking people can change...
