What I learned today.

That a "snow"drift that one would easily drive through/over if it were, in fact, still snow, can trap your car for a good half hour if it has melted and refrozen into semi-solid ice. Furthermore, it will prove virtually immune to the plastic snow shovel that all civilized human beings northerners carry in their trunk. Had I thought to start whacking away with the tire-iron earlier, the quagmire would have been considerably shorter in duration. Luckily, one of my TAs and a random stranger happened along to help. Still, very annoying.

There will be some new stuff there soon, you don't want the crusty old stuff, it is no fun to play with, I remember that. Have him bring the fresh stuff ;)
