It's Christmas in Fort Worth ... Or It Looks That Way At Least

Fort Worth got maybe five cm of real, authentic, even credible in the North type snow.  By four in the morning, it had a layer of ice over the snow beneath.  There is only one thought that comes at this time:  if there is anything you need, get it now before the Texans start driving on it.  If you are on the road at the same time as they, there will only be one word for you:  victim.

(Ed:  what in tarnation is a cm?)

A centimeter is one hundredth of a meter which is a thousandth of a klick.  Five centimeters is about the size of your pinky or yer ... well, it's about the size of yer pinky finger.

(Ed:  I thought klick was some Vietnamese word?)

Nah.  It's just Army guys pretending it's not metric and it's something they invented.  A klick is the same as a kilometer and was in use in the military long before Vietnam.

(Ed:  ok, so what is tarnation, smart guy?)

It's the southern idea of an acronym and is short for 'the entire nation.'  You following me so far, Ranger Rick?
