Freaking Las Vegas

Ok, I get it: Vegas inhabitants don't see a whole lot of snow without a huge drive or an airplane involved. So I do understand why life might be a little jammed when Mother Earth gets a cold flash and dumps 2 inches on the city...

HOWEVER...

(from cnn.com) "The typically 15-minute trip took six hours, and when she finally arrived at her street, her Prius got stuck in the snow."

Hm...15 minute drive? So, figure that's about 5 miles(most...it's not like we're talking SF or LA here people)...The average person walks 3 miles an hour...That would have been an hour and a half walk. In the snow. Yet this dinky-ditz stays in her pseudo-eco-guzzler FOR SIX HOURS. Here's a hint, pretty baby: Get yer ass out of the car and WALK. Bonus points: You'd *really* be saving the environment, rather than sticking it up Mom Earth's ass with your globe-trotting, chemically-enhanced eco-terrorist car. Think about it.

I don't know what it goes to show, but I had to vent. Thank you and g'night!
