Dallas

I've been there. I travelled a lot when I was working. Dallas was included.

You may think that that there city is way down south there, hot and filled with cowpokes. Hah! We've all seen the TV show - it's crawling with oil money. It is quite the metropolis. And if you've been watching the news recently, it is completely unequipped for snow and ice. I know - I've experienced it.

I was in some sort of high-rise hotel, and there was an ice storm. The entertainment was wonderful - people would drive into the multilevel parking area - just below me- and hit a solid sheet of ice. You could have set music to the pirouettes and bounces these cars made off each other as they skidded slowly around the parking deck. And they kept on coming.

Hit a car, bounce, hit another, twist, float around, hit a car. It was mesmerizing.

Dallas. Endlessly entertaining.
