Apparently they name snowplows in Scotland, and the names are awesome. You can live track MR PLOUGH as he grits the roads of Scotland, and check in on his friends SIR SALTER SCOTT and GRITTY GRITTY BANG BANG.

Apparently not all of them have names. I figured out you need to zoom in to see the names. I found the gems:
Luke Snowalker
Grittie McVittie
Sparkle

My father and I used to name ‘em as a kid in Maine, too.
There was “asshole in the dump truck that wrecks the end of the driveway”, and “asshole in the Ford ton truck that wrecks the end of the driveway”, and “asshole in the Chevy that wrecks the end of the driveway”...

And the voice in my head just read that in the proper accent.

It’s kind of amazing that you can track them live online! I mean, technologically, it’s not amazing. But that they make it available to the public.... wow.
