The city of Dallas got a half inch of snow and ice two days ago and the entire city’s been shut down. Then again, I don’t really blame them since their idea of how to handle situations like this comes straight from the 18th century: throw down a little sand for some traction and wait for the sun to come and melt it all away. You’d think that with all the trucks, one or two would have a plow attachment.

At work yesterday, a few of us decided that it would be a good idea to tie some ropes to the back of a few cars and then get towed around the parking lot in Tupperware tubs.

The tubs weren’t all that sturdy and started progressively breaking up into smaller and smaller pieces. By the end, we couldn’t actually sit in them, and had to use a wakeboarding-like kneeling technique.

This is how affluent, college-educated software engineers have fun.
