Off the back porch 

Sorry for the light posting, folks - on the road all week, and on the way home, I got caught in this.  The I-40 corridor is a bitch in bad weather, and never more so than when what’s coming out of the sky is pure ice.  One stretch that usually takes no more than 20 minutes to drive took me over an hour, not including repeated stops to break an inch-plus of ice off the windshield wipers.  Fortunately, I made it home safely.  I’m headed out again tomorrow; a little snow I don’t mind, but can we cool it with the ice already?
