This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm a Michigander. We don't get ridiculous low temps like -70 or anything but, I wish most roads would be left alone. Plow and salt main Highways and expressways but, leave everything else undone. Then we can buy vehicles that can traverse the snow like sleds or good 4x4 rigs.

This would keep our roads nicer and would keep our cars from rotting out

That’s not really feasible. School buses is one obvious reason (among many others).

Come on...we could have school sled dog "busses"!

Or snow machines.

Kids can take their parents’ sled to school.
