BTW, that black ice is no fun. Back in February, I slipped on ice in my driveway while unhooking the electric cord to my trucks' block heater. I had the sense to initiate a "break fall" to keep my noggin from smashing on the pavement: I splayed out all of my limbs at the same time. I ended up striking my elbow on the concrete. The elbow swelled up to the point where my teenage son would walk up and point and yell: "Look at Dad's elbo-tum!" (His combination of the words "elbow" and a certain male reproductive area between the legs).

A week later I came down with rash on my neck that turned out to be the telltale of a case of Shingles caused by the injury and the subsequent immune reaction. THAT was not fun. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]
