ice

i gave away the ending to my story!

today it was an adventure and a half getting to work. well getting out of the driveway.  the mailman even helped. the frog got stuck on the ice. we couldnt' push it. it didnt' work. one of the back wheels was spinning and the other one wasn't. but then i came up with the idea to push it in reverse then go from there. cuz iw ouldtn have geen able to make the turn anyway.  the back end flew aroudn liek crazy.  luckily when i was told to come to work it was for 4 or 5. well it took 15 min to get out of the driveway. so i got to work at 4:15.  luckily i was heading there for the shorter time. we put salt down. it's still ice. i dotn have an ice pick or anything ot help get rid of the ice. i'm parked on the road now.

    Tire chains or studded tires would help for days like those. If you go with the chains, they're probably more of a pain.

    Studded tires are great, though. You can buy two old rims with the proper bolt pattern to match the car and have studded tires mounted on them. Then you can just install the two studded wheels in the winter months and leave it like that till spring. And if you do the wheel change yourself, there's no cost besides the initial purchase of the rims and studded tires.
