AwakeningSardis

Oh yes. That is right. I typed “snow socks.” Sounds incredibly ineffective right? I mean. Imagining wet feet at the moment. Cold wet feet. Bad idea. Bad title. It only gets funnier when you click on the link and find out what they are. Snow socks.. for your tyres. (Tires for you Yanks) See in most parts of the world where it snows there is this really nifty invention called a snow tire (tyre). It’s a bit more grippy. It stays on the road when the ice falls. What people don’t know who don’t regularly (yearly)  drive on snow and … Continue reading Snow socks
