The safest way to navigate around our property seems to be to sit down and push yourself along. I’ve become quite good at this new means of transportation and am feeling quite prOud of my skills. That, of course, means it’s probably only a matter of time until I make a fool of myself! Meanwhile, do you think they’d consider adding a new Olympic event, Bottom Sledding?
The “Ice That Will Not Leave” has caused the same inconveniences here that the rest of you are putting up with as well. I parked at the top of a client’s driveway this week, put on the parking brake and was just about to exit the car when it began sliding backwards. Not being a complete idiot I decided that I’d drive back down and park on the road. That then left me with the task of walking back up the completely untouched driveway on shoes designed to impress business clients, not navigate icy terrain. Incredibly, I made it to the top without incident. I suggested to my clients that perhaps I should try “bottom sledding” to my car, but they appeared to believe I was joking. So, trying to maintain my dignity I picked my way back down (OK, skated in a completely undignified fashion!)
