You dare to make fun of my feelings as a Radio Shack fanboi? I have many fond memories of radio Shack, like the first time I ever got hands on a computer, a TRS-80 Model I.

Saturn’s peculiar moon Pan pictured – Astronomy Now
Bizarre shape! Reminds me a little bit of STNG's space alien in Galaxy's Child, minus the tail.

It looks to me like a battered flying saucer. Are the aliens using the Solar System as a dumping ground for their old vehicles? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

To me it looks like a Terran Battleship.[^] After the battle. Luckily they have a few of those.

That's a from pulp sci-fi series that has been published weekly since 1961. If I remember right, they started those drawings in the early 1970s and this ship must be among the earlier drawings, so they must have drawn this on paper.

Solid.

Blizzard warnings for NYC and CT, 8" or more of snow where I live (actually, that's really nothing significant, it's more the lack of visibility and the idiots on the road), starting tonight through Wed night.
Looking forward to a couple days off work and instead working on my next article and a client project. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Shirley this happens at least once every year. How do they survive without ever actually learning how to drive on snow and ice?
And for a moment you had me believing you were writing about my former bossette, the old witch.

The OP mentioned "the idiots on the road". I assume he's referring to those who aren't allowed to take coffee breaks during working hours, because they need retraining when they come back.

Having lived in ice and snow, Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario, for most of my life, I've driven in these conditions.
You can readily drive on snow without too many problems. On ice however, you tend to just slide... so, whether to drive or not depends on what is being received.
If the conditions will lead to ice: freezing rain, sleet, snow with sub-freezing temperature and above freezing ground/road temperature - opt for safety and stay off the road.
Living in South Carolina, we are frequently told "You can drive in this.. go and get something for me." Well, I CAN drive in snow.. but ice is just asking for an accident.

I see that the same way. here we have such things at least once or twice every winter. I got my license in summer and the first winter was... problematic. I went to a driver's training for snow and ice and never had any problem ever since. When I get the opportunity, I go to an empty parking lot when the first snow comes and see wether I need some new tires or not.

I have fond memories from my youth about taking advantage of an empty parking lot coated with fresh powder to "test" my snow driving abilities in a rear-wheel-drive car built in 1979. I remember being able to fish-tail the back end up to about 60 degrees and still recover, hehehe  .

Or a 180 degree turn on a small 'road' laid out with cardboard boxes, without knocking any boxes over. The instructor at that training I mentioned showed us how to do these. With his 'worthless and underpowered' Mercedes.
