So far, so good this year, for the most part.

Few things are more disgusting than having no choice other than to crunch ones way from here to there by hiking, biking or driving through the invading hordes.

Can be dangerous too as their crunched up remains coat paved roads with a foul and greasy but more importantly, hazardously slick riding/driving surface.
