So over the past week we've had some spectacularly crappy weather. There were several inches of snow, and then everyone's favorite freezing rain. The roads were some serious shit for quite a few days there. I fought through the poo for a few days and managed to keep the commuter upright despite the black ice. Then the thaw came.
The roads turned into a messy bowl full of cold, slushy, salty liquid I've dubbed the midwest margarita (MM). Instead of the usual tequila, triple sec, and citrus; you get a tasty helping of grey-water, petroleum, and bum urine (seriously, I watched some hobo piss all over the side of the library across from my apt last night). Throw in some salt, ice, and a paper umbrella and you're set.
Oddly enough the midwest margarita has similar effects on me as the original, after a few sips I usually feel like I'm going to vomit. Neither tequila or the MM are real alcoholic beverages, no one really wants to drink them, and tequila is really just a sporting booze to be consumed only on dares, or directly after (or during) a bike race. Try to remember that kiddies and you'll get pretty far in this world.
