Well…after doing the bike rides this morning early, I decided to grab my snow shovel and spade and see if the above freezing temps had softened more of the ice and slush in the alley…after 45 minutes of work it looked almost passable so I changed my clothes and headed out for the grocery run…got out but barely and when I got back here I screamed the car in the alley and drove it sideways up to my garage…so now I don’t have to go anywhere for the next week and with temps in the upper 30′s, lower 40′s until the 8th of Feb…it should melt the rest of it before I have to go out again…I guess calling the city a second time yesterday worked with them making a pass down it last night or this morning and clearing out the entry some…so now I can take the rest of the afternoon off with no worry anymore…now if emby would just work, things would be back to normal….
