He came, I sent him back, he called my Momma and told her I was crazy 'cause I WANTED to walk home in the stuff. He was still shaking his head when I walked in about an hour later.Stepsistahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763127080392250036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32537618.post-77285383287577965372009-12-05T11:13:12.794-08:002009-12-05T11:13:12.794-08:00Gosh, I wish I could see that spectacular result! ...Gosh, I wish I could see <i>that</i> spectacular result!

Then when it is driven on, it gets compacted into a layer of ice that lasts well after the uncompacted snow has melted. <br /><br />Living in a college town with a lot of international students has some advantages: seeing rich Saudi kids put their BMWs into sign poles when it is icy is a popular pastime.innominatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365636738022339985noreply@blogger.com
