Slippery

[james_davis_nicoll]

We're getting freezing rain. Not too bad yet, so I dashed out to the big green box for sand for the walk and the driveway. Used up most of it getting back the front door so I made a second trip.

The lights have been flickering. That can't be good.

I'm actually fairly good at falling down without seriously injuring myself [1]. My current record is a flight and a half of stairs, backwards.

Actually, the time someone pruned the branch I was standing on may have involved more distance but happily I was able to slow myself down using the branches that I encountered on the way to the ground.

1: My worst (or at least most inconvenient [2]) injury preceded a fall, actually.

2: I guess concussions are bad and a few of mine were because of falls, usually my own.

Yes it is a bit slippery out there. I went to work and it was clear and cold and dry; I got done work and there was ice everywhere and it was raining.

It's like a skating rink out in front of my apartment building at the moment. It took me about 30 seconds to walk five feet. This weather is nuts. :(

"Another common problem is that the lights flicker. This
sometimes means that your electrical system is inadequate,
but more often it means that your home is possessed by
demons, in which case you'll need to get a caulking gun
and some caulking." -- Dave Barry
