I live in KS, and yes, I agree that a lot of people can't drive for shit, and 99% of them, are retired. They think the whole world can wait on them, and everyday is a Sunday drive day. I think everyone over the age of 65 should be required to take a driving test every year, and if they can't drive the speed limits, obey the laws, and pay friggin' attention to their driving, then they shouldn't be allowed to have a drivers license.
Now for the weather. It's hotter than hell in the summer time, and colder than a frog's ass in a frozen pond in the winter, but no one can control that, so we just deal with it.
