Mind Over Matter

An early snow, followed by rain and more snow, left a thick crust on the windshield of my 1989 Mitsubishi Mirage. But it's not winter, and I refuse to give in to whims of weather and pull out the old ice scraper. Instead, I turned the heat on full and drove (slowly) for almost 10 blocks while peering over the dash and waiting for my wipers to thaw. I took the back streets, crawled along in first gear, and eventually, I won.

Hmmm... everything is a competition with you, isn't it, Eric! I'm glad you won against Old Man Winter. Your trophy case must be getting pretty full!

I'm going to try and visit your blog more frequently.

P.S. Do I get a prize for that?

A prize seems warranted. I'll see what I can do next time I'm in town.

A prize for that little? I want one. You gave into weather by driving in first gear and going on the back roads. Shameful.

I do what I can.
