A house away the road drops steeply to a T intersection. The city has the downhill lane blocked and detoured. There are half a dozen men and one shovel chipping away at an ice cake.

Reminds me of the man who saw a worker digging holes on a street shoulder and another man filling them back up. He asked what was going on. "We're planting trees." "But there are no trees!" "The guy who puts the tree in the hole called in sick."

The first time I visited Jacksonville, Fla, there was something like a foot of snow on the ground. I didn't know any different and it would have been a gas, except we'd just stepped off a plane from the Virgin Islands, in shorts, no less!
Boston wasn't any better for my crew and I, in our shorts, on our way to Cyprus to pick up a boat and deliver her back to somewhere up the Chesapeake.
