It went great! Momma smithers is happy with her new macbook (her old one is ten years old now). And the wife has a brand new Nespresso machine.

Merry xmas everyone!

How is christmas morning for you?

Hope you’re okay. Those ice related gymnastics aren’t fun.

Just some bumps and bruises, fortunately nothing serious.

I feel like I might have to start putting down sand/salt on the stairs and walkway.

As did I on the total ice on my driveway that I could not really see. I had to crawl across it to get to the snow to walk on it to get my accumulated mail and newspapers.

Last February I had a violent fall on the ice which resulted in a broken wrist. This one was nothing in comparison. No pain.

Ice report from here: it's a bit chillier today, but it was around 80 degrees yesterday. I didn't observe any ice.

80! Where are you, Xan. On the sun?

Mrs and I slipped on salt the other day. O0 Didn’t fall.
There was no ice. The city put out a huge amount of salt and it was like walking on ball bearings.

Glad you are okay Vinny. Time to move to the south? 🙃
