I fostered a deep thought today. I gave it room to grow and this is what I came up with. The majority of TN residents are from the south. I didn't grow up helping my father put snow chains on the tires of the family car and shovel the driveway in the winter. When I learned to drive it was 85 degrees in October, thus no snow. I have driven in snow all of 10 times in my life. I enjoy a good 3 inches of snow when everything shuts down and no one goes to work. It is ironic to me that people from the north make fun of us southerners for not wanting to strap into a 2000 pound, rear wheel drive, steel car and drive on summer tires through an inch of snow that we obviously have not been taught to drive in. Who are the real dummies? Is it wise for a bunch of unlearned snow drivers to take to the icey streets all at once just because you did it in northern Ohio or Maryland all the time? Take the day off work, eat a frozen pizza with some hot chocolate and watch Lifetime with your wife. I am proud to be a terrible snow driver. I hate cold weather. That is reason #278 that I live in the south.
Thanks, Brad, for the chuckle and for allowing me to share your Facebook post here! Brad and his family are the owners of East West Media, a billboard advertising company in East Tennessee. Their office is filled with amazing advertising artwork spanning a multi-decade time period... My kids and I loved visiting the Mizers at their office! P.S.
