From Colombia, another great way at controlling the bad behavior of the populace:

Another innovative idea was to use mimes to improve both traffic and citizens' behavior. Initially 20 professional mimes shadowed pedestrians who didn't follow crossing rules: A pedestrian running across the road would be tracked by a mime who mocked his every move. Mimes also poked fun at reckless drivers. The program was so popular that another 400 people were trained as mimes.

How many were pushed in front of cars?

Aha. Not mines. But that's a thought.

Nobody deserves mime.

How about both? And we don't tell the mimes where the mines are. Then the tiptoeing is for real.

Two hours in the waiting room.

That mime thing is freaking hilarious. Although first I thought it said Columbia, and was laughing even harder, picturing it in New York. Really first I thought it said mines, and that sounded effective, but not funny.

Snow reminds me yet again why I'm glad to be a renter with no car. I don't have to shovel anything!

Being a commuter helps too, even if you do have a car.

It's not the days where it's snowing that I mind walking, because if it's snowing it's usually warmer than the coldest days where it isn't (this last storm in MA excepted - absolutely freezing!).

What Frank said. One of my favorite things about being outside in the snow normally is the unexpected warmth, but this last storm? Brrrrrr.

Plus he has the leather cuff of the wrong side of the tracks.

Picking up the slack for Ryan Atwood then.

When I lived in snowy places, I didn't drive. Shovelling out a parking spot would make me insane. Or insane-r.
