Turns out we all were standing on some ice that sloped just little bit towards the street. I guess the two years of physical therapy worked, at least that part about how to fall.
I had planned to stop by yesterday. That is your shift day, isn't it? Well that didn't happen so how about I try for Thursday? Got the pictures and want to deliver them to you guys. Stay safe!
