Today I suffered Square Tire Syndrome. It’s a terrible affliction affecting thousands of tires in the north. Symptoms include an odd slapping sound as the square tires thump their way over the pavement, and the wildly gyrating heads of the vehicle’s passengers. The cold temperatures actually freeze the tire in the shape that it sits in – with a flat spot in the bottom.

There is no cure for Square Tire Syndrome, but the symptoms can be alleviated with the heat generated from driving. Eventually everything feels fine. Luckily Square Tire Syndrome is confined to the north, so the millions of southerners need not suffer!

The odd thing is that it has been colder than this and I didn’t notice it then. Hmmm….

Cheers!
