Quote:The good folks at the bus barn sallied forth by fitting the school buses with chains at a break-neck pace... after they got the barn itself plowed.
Why didn't they just push the button?
(Busses up here are auto-chaining. They have chainflails mounted inboard of the duals that sling chain out into the intersection of the front of the tires and the road. Works a trick)
I actually had to work at the local office instead of driving ~50 mi into the main office, which is my normal pattern. When I pulled the plug and cancelled the trip in, I was on the phone with my gas control office. I try to decelerate from 20 to 15mph, and then I say 'Wheeeeeeeee!' as my van goes sideways and starts pirouetting in the offramp O_O.
