Ray will be able to correct me if I am wrong, but I doubt that
he has overly much trouble with ice on the garage floor in winter,
unless, that is, he lives in Canberra, or high in, what Australia calls,
mountains!

Let me remind everybody that where Ray lives winter isn't that
far away.
Don't forget about the southern hemisphere and those who inhabit
it.
