One Vision of Hell

In Wisconsin, traffic backed up for 19 miles south of Madison on Wednesday after semitrailer trucks got stuck on a hill. Gov. Jim Doyle later called a state of emergency, sending National Guard troops to help vehicles stuck in the jam blocking Interstate 90. Snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles were used to check on the stranded motorists and bring them food or fuel.

    The path to Hell is paved with snowballs.

    Yes, indeed. In Dante’s version, once you get to the very center, isn’t Satan encased in ice? (Kind of like Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining.)

    Actually, I couldn’t tell you the composition of the pavement on the road to Hell, but I do know that where there are snowmobiles and ATVs, then assuredly Hell is close by.

    Wisconsin’s snow paved the road to Heaven for me. My boss was stuck up there all week.

    Whee!!

    you are correct, Sheila. It turns out that Rawlins, WY was not far from that articles description.

    Andrew, might we now include you among those who have journeyed to Hell and returned?
