[Az-Geocaching] It's raining

[Gale]

Dont make me tell my Alaskan stories lol. Walking 2 miles to work in the dark, ice freezing on my legs and cracking with every step. And the hot popovers fresh from the ovens at the bakery next to work as my reward.

from the heavens, and congealed into a nice, slick substance we like to 
call ice.  More fluffy stuff fell and covered the ice, creating a false 
sense of security.  This sense of security quickly departed the psyche 
the moment you increased the friction between brake pads and rotors.  Of 
course, the sense of security was held at bay if one was fortunate 
enough to have dual lockers and 4WD.  It is currently -2F outside with a 
steamy wind chill of -30F.

On the bright side, the conditions are ripe for my power slides into the 
driveway.  I start in front of my neighbor's house in 2HI with the 
wheels turned slightly to the right and floor it.  The instant my rear 
end kicks out, I turn hard into the slide and let off the gas as soon as 
my headlights hit the driveway.  The wheels lock up and I roll straight 
into the driveway and into the garage.  Man that's fun.

Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking
 
Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
  On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so:
"Something hidden.  Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
  "Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"

 

Rudyard Kipling ,   The Explorer  1898
