Skis!

Completed Phase 3 snow relocation, which involves the lower level roof surfaces, as well as the oil filler pipe access and the plow residue left by the city on our nice clean driveway . . .

Got out to the city forest, where snow is welcome.  Only skied a mile because of that first-run-of-the-year factor.  Excellent surface, which will probably be ruined by rain tomorrow.

Yes, rain.  That's the forecast.  Dammit.

Which is why I needed to get those roofs shoveled off -- snow soaks up rain like a sponge, adding much weight.  With drifts to 3' deep and a house over 150 years old . . .

In totally unrelated news, I just finished Dragon's Teeth - excellent stuff!

Glad you liked it! Now, go out and get everyone you know to buy multiple copies!

I've tried! They never seem to buy more than one copy of anything I suggest... strange, huh? =)

If books sell lots of copies, then the author gets a chance to write more of them . . .

(Usually true, but not always. Publishing is a strange and wondrous world.)

But thank you!

Just remember when you're up there on those roofs, monsieur Hetley, that a fall FROM them can be just as nasty as when they fall ON you... the Wicked Witch of the East notwithstanding...

Well, snowdrifts cushion the impact.
