Ice Ice Baby
I just got back from taking Harriet for a quick skate around the back
field and/or ice rink. There's a downward slope just off my patio, and Harriet decided to squat for a pee right at the top of it. It rolled and spread instead of sinking in. I've never seen pee slide down an icy hill before! That is all. As you were, comrades. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

I cant say that I've been close enough for inspection on running downhill though! I *have* been doing a lot of "EASY!!!!!!" today though. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

I cant say that I've been close enough for inspection on running downhill though! This is a first for me! I *have* been doing a lot of "EASY!!!!!!" today though. Oh yeah. It's been sleeting and raining (which freezes immediately) since yesterday afternoon. It's pretty slick out there. I've been on the computer most of the day, doing genealogy research (boy is *that* ever a time suck!). The computer is by the front windows, facing the parking lot, and all I've heard, all day long, is people scrape-scrape-scraping their cars. The ice is thick, so it's taking forever to chisel off. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

I sent DH off in my Pilot with a fresh can of deicer with a scraper cap. I currently have a Volvo convertible and Mustang convertible in the driveway, both totally encased in ice. It's good to be self employed and be able to stay home with the dogs, keep the woodstove loaded, and catch up on computer work of various sorts, along with some laundry, vacuuming, etc. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

The deck was really icy and I couldn't resist skating around it in my slippers, and the next thing I knew Crow launched herself at me, which is *so* un-Crowlike (she's a very serious dog). So we played a bunch, me skating around and Crow ricocheting off the wall and railings. At least we were able to get a few minutes of fun out of this mess, because other than that and Jack this winter hasn't been much fun at all. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

It's way too slick to do anything but concentrate on standing up. And now it's raining, which is making things worse, because it's melting the top layer just enough to put a beautiful shine on it. And in some areas--like right outside my patio door--it's an icy-bottomed lake. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/2285468315/ -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

It's way too slick to do anything but concentrate on standing up. I have a problem with thinking things through to their logical conclusion. It's caused me trouble my whole life, and now it wants to cause you trouble too. I never considered that you could break yourself and your camera, and I just couldn't figure out how you could pass on such a unique situation. I'm glad your self preservation instincts are stronger than my "oh yeah good idea let's do that right now" instincts. And now it's raining, which is making things worse, because it's melting the top layer just enough to put a beautiful shine on it. And in some areas--like right outside my patio door--it's an icy-bottomed lake. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cat-sidh/2285468315/ That looks just like the protected wetlands (can't think of the name right now, don't want to google) a few miles down the road from me. Watch out or some government agency is going usurp your patio in the name of saving an ice floe or some such. I hope the thaw happens before you and Harriett go stir crazy and visit chaos and mayhem upon each other. Karla |
