Well when is Valentine’s day?
And how will love rat behave?
Will it take a forceps
to extract his wallet?
Cave, we’ll make love in a cave

The mouser no longer could scare him
Truth be told, Speedy never could bear him
Though he did try his best
To put scalpel to rest
And by the graveside he sang Ave Verum

Can i send you a message from Trish
There’s a fault with her satellite dish
she’s bored and she’s cold
and her husband did scold
in re something to do with a fish

My children are out in a blizzard. They scream at me to remove myself from my memory foam mattress but then one of them brings me coffee. If someone would only pull my bed closer to the window, my reality could be altered. My reality is: I’ve taken to the bed; I am a bad mother. Aah my four year old is singing joyfully. She’s never seen snow. Squeals of delight. I’m at the window now, drawn by other people’s happiness. Capture the moment quickly. I’ve rarely seen snow in Ireland. The place grinds to a halt at a whiff of it. People are urged not to make unnecessary journeys. My memory foam is recalling Christmas in Luxembourg, February in France, other times. But this is a better time and I am being called to participate. And when we see the photo in years to come, I will have been there, not standing at the window looking in. Reality check. Get up before the snow is gone and there are tears

I can tell you that after Arizona got their last touchdown, I tried very hard to influence the outcome of the Super Bowl with my thoughts so that Pittsburgh would win. And something else about Pittsburgh; I lived in three different suburbs of Pittsburgh as a child – they used cinders on the roads there, not gravel, not salt, but cinders. I have no idea what thay use now.

Oregon won’t throw salt on the roads because then when the snow melts it would get into the rivers and blah blah blah. Something about salted salmon. Sounds tasty to me.

So in the cities they use rocks and sand, and out here we use studded tires.

Ach. Rocks.

here’s another guess: in the US, it’s more common to spread salt or sand on snowy/icy roads than gravel. NY state is very fond of sand. Utah gets the shingles if it doesn’t use a lot a lot a lot of sssssssssssalt. salt salt salt SALT omg SALT

It snows all the freakin time here, but since we live in a rural area ODOT (Oregon Department of Transportation) doesn’t care. So we are all just real men about it and put studded tires on our cars as soon as it becomes legal on November 1st, and carry chains and stuff until they make us take off the studs in April. I’ve never replaced a windshield. :)

My bike hardly ever needs windshield replacement. Ho-ho-ho.

I live in southern California where it doesn’t snow, but I’ve nonetheless had to have my windshield replaced at least three, maybe four, times in the seven years that I’ve lived here. This is due to stones being thrown up from the wheels of trucks and SUV’s. Most people I know have full glass coverage on their auto insurance. The auto glass people come to my house or my workplace to replace the windshield at my convenience and “free”; my car insurance rates have not gone up. In fact, I pay here about half what I paid in Buffalo for auto insurance, (the same coverage).

No such thing as “full glass coverage” in Austria?
