We have a sloping, long drive way.\u00a0 Most days no big deal.\u00a0 On days like today, when rain has fallen, then frozen, it requires special equipment:\u00a0 yak trax.\u00a0 They slip on over the shoe or boot and the rope like wire keeps you upright.\u00a0 I bought a pair of these after going out for the paper one morning, not real long after my achilles repair.\u00a0 My feet went up and I fell just like one of those cartoon characters, head smacking the driveway with no restraint.\u00a0 Blood pulsing down my head I went inside, woke Kate up and said, “I think I need some help here.”\u00a0 These days I slip on the yaktrax and walk with a grip to the mailbox.<\/p>\n
Kate called this morning from her quilt retreat bus, on her way to Eau Claire.\u00a0 A truck pulling two trailers had upended near the spot of her call.\u00a0 That part of Wisconsin can be treacherous in this kind of weather.\u00a0 She said the bus driver had it handled.\u00a0 I hope so.<\/p>\n
