NHL Quality Ice out there!

Well there is no hockey this year, due mainly to the greedy arsed few players who make multi-millions a year (Yeah I bet the 4th liners are lovin the lockout...) so up here in Canada, we need to make up new winter sports to keep us fascinated with ice surfaces.

Today, we'll try Carling. Yes, it's like curling except the object is to hurl your car along the road from your house to where you work! Sounds like real fun huh? Well it isn't.

The roads were brutal this morning. With the temperatures on the rise, and snow falling the way that warm air doesn't, the snow melts and freezes on your windshield almost instantly. Imagine what that does to a slightly warmed up asphalt surface. FUN!

So I must say, my first toss of the rock, er car, was a success this morning. A few real slick spots, but all in all, it wasn't too bad a drive. It is a real shame that all the buttheads with huge trucks and ten headlights feel so safe. They sure scare the hell out of me in my old Oldsmobile....
