We got hit by ice during the night last night.
Ice is my Enemy, with a capital "E".
Better sleet, snow, rain, hail, cold, wind, than ice.
I think it has something to do with my slipping on ice and busting my elbow the morning the first George Bush left office, because after that, whereas I'd always been wary of ice, I developed a real phobia about it.
It's not a matter of importance at the moment--it can wait until I head to the big city later this week--but anyway, does anyone have any favorite sort of ice-remover?
I was always using cat-litter in the past, just plain cheap baked-clay cat litter, no other ingredient, and while that was okay, it didn't quite hack it.
There doesn't seem to be any reason to be too concerned about "environmental damage," given that this is the Sandhills of Nebraska, where there's not many chemicals around anyway, and the soil on this particular piece of property is unusually rich and constantly enriched. Plus that I use things sparingly.
