Several years ago (approx. 1995), I drove to Iowa to visit a client. While going over an overpass on I-80, I must have hit what they call black ice. My car, with back-wheel drive, started to fishtail out of control, and I ended up doing a complete 360 and came to rest facing traffic from the opposite direction. Fortunately it was late at night, traffic was light, and I was able to spin my way into the right direction before any vehicles hit me. On that ice, no oncoming car could have stopped or slowed down—a semi would have flattened me.

Congrats Pete, once again you’ve proved you are way cooler than any of your readers. Now for 2009, why not resolve to talk about music people actually listen to?
FWIW, I’m sure people will discover that I’m uncool after reading this list, but I’ve known that for a long time.
