To all those (able bodied) people on my regular walking route who didn't shovel their sidewalks because "oh it's just going to melt anyway," I've got news for you. IT DIDN'T!!! And now, because it got I-don't-know-how-cold last night (it was 23 when we left for our walk this afternoon), the sidewalks are are covered in ice. Thanks a lot! Just be glad I didn't slip and fall and break one of my (or my daughter's) bones.

I know nobody along my route is going to read this, or even know it is directed towards them even if they did, but I feel better now.
