i don't need student loans for this edumacation

things i've learned about indianapolis:

when the weatherman says it's going to snow, it's probably going to rain or it's going to do nothing.
- if they guarantee snow, and lots of it, then it will frost a little.

when listening to the morning traffic report, if they say traffic is backed up on 70w, i get excited (even though i am going 70w) because anytime they say it's backed up, the road is clear. if i do not hear 70w on the traffic report, i know i will be sitting in a traffic jam. that's pretty standard for all roads on the traffic report. if the road is announced as being slow, it's not. but every other road is.

nice sunny day: minimal accidents.
cloudy day: double the accidents
drizzle: roughly 100 accidents
rain: average mph of 10, 200 accidents
heavy rain: city shuts down. state of emergency declared.
light snow: 500 accidents. people wandering the streets in a daze as if a nuclear bomb had just gone off
heavy snow: rarely happens. though when it does, the city falls into martial law, all cars crash into the nearest structure even if no one is in the car, then the city falls into the earth never to be seen again.
windy days: people wait until windy days to spend the drive rummaging around on the floor of their car for eddie money cd they dropped enhancing the weaving already being caused by the wind.

right green arrows = stopping and not turning

merging is something corporations do, not traffic.
