Winter
Wondering why the hell the plow hasn't been out yet (99%)

Non-winter

Waiting for the chicken to cross the road

Before the Economic Crash
Making an algebraic equation inspired by the number of Ford Explorers plus sedans at the place at the bend in the road (i.e. 7x +2s = today at the corner)
