Awesome article! I love how you match a personal story with a major concept related to progress.

By sheer coincidence, I was in Montreal for that event. I was living in Boston at the time, but I decided to celebrate New Years in Montreal with a group of people. I remember sitting in the window of a high-rise hotel watching the intersection below me.

I am not exaggerating. Every third car completely spun out and slid sideways out of the intersection. It was like watching a demolition derby but with involuntary contestants. Very entertaining and scary at the same time.

The entire region was shut down for days. Ironically, it worked out well for us as the hotel gave us free nights for the following days because they knew no guests could get in or out.

Got back to Boston many days later.

Keep up the good work!
