Well, except for stuff like this:

Now that is a dedicated zamboni driver. Save the ice by driving his blazing on fire machine into an enclosed area that probably contains all sorts of flammable liquids and materials.

This was Upstate. He was drunk.

And suicidal.

So what you’re saying is, that Zamboni driver did his damn job like he would any other day, right?

I’m hoping he was driving it to the fire extinguishers

Perhaps he was on his cellphone and hardly noticed?

That sounds more like Downstate behavior.

Do we know what was on the other side of that tunnel? Maybe a beer ball or case of Genny Cream?

Can confirm. There's a stretch after you cross Chautauqua Lake to about the Seneca Casino where AT&T can't hold a call for shit. But then I look over at the next car and some guy in a beat up truck is just yakking away on his Boost Mobile flip phone, so maybe it's a way to keep the outsiders at bay?

Possibly so, but I'm grandfathered in on a killer plan from like a decade ago and they're fantastic where I'm at, so I just deal with the holes in the matrix elsewhere I guess.

On that stretch they prefer you use the traditional method of a smoky fire and blanket.

No. CB Radio. Smokey and the Bandit IV: Lost Upstate.

I would pay good money, and go to a theater in these covidian times, to see Sally Field, and the reanimated corpses of Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed and maybe Dom Deluise in Smokey and the Bandit IV: Lost Upstate.

I just checked and my first thought was, “holding up pretty good” but then I googled “Sally Field 1977”

Sally had a kid that went to SU

And we have now come full circle.

That’s how you do it boys.
