Bill, Good thing that car's a rental. Yanking ice-covered car doors will result in the door opening but often minus its seals. Ice like that is an amazing precipitation, saw lots of it in the Ozarks where we were on that line between classic snow winter lands and those that just get cold

Going for a walk after an episode of freezing rain, or freezing snow, can be some real beautiful experiences. When the sun comes out everything's sparkly and glittery. Taking shorter strides, keeping your feet underneath you, you'll be fine. Having lived in snow and ice all my life, I learned

It took me a minute, but if my training in linear perspective is correct: the steel cables closest to the camera and angling "up" to the left are the railing on the edge of the deck itself; the handrail and cables in the intermediate distance are stairs going down to the yard; the background is

Ah yes, good ol' Midwest ice storms. I recall one that came through central Indiana back in the early 90's that was so bad that it took down some of those big 3-phase cross country power lines. A large deteriorated billboard that had rotted and fallen forward was literally blown back up

The sprung version is still pretty common. The B68 had been totally out of production...or so I thought. Rivendell has an OEM deal with Brooks that lets them sell a saddle on a complete bike purchase. I looked for a loophole with Riv since I'm buying a frameset, and Will very nicely said
