  First freeze of the season came last night, and we woke up to a clear sunny sky and just above freezing temps. After dropping my son off at preschool, I head over to the mechanic to drop off the car for a quick repair, and begin a 45 minute walk home through town, which I really looked forward to.

  I'm walking along now, quick enough to get the blood flowing and hold back the chill from the air, and start generating that heat that feels great on a day like this. The sun is shining and the streets are covered in yellow and orange leaves, and it's gloriously beautiful.

  And then the next second I'm in the air, falling flat on my back on the sidewalk. Some asshole had his sprinklers on last night, creating an invisible layer of ice on the concrete in front of his house. Now my shoulder hurts.

  • If you haven't winterized the system yet, at the very least shut it off if it's going to freeze, ffs. It's dangerous and potentially damaging too.monospaced
