So in a new update on Patch's Exciting Life (now with illustrations!), we bring you tale of the glacier which has formed in my garage. Cool! you say. Yes. And smooth, too.
It's a tragic tale of innocuous elements which all come together in an amazing way. Basically, we have:
1. A drainage pipe for water from the roof
2. A garage which is slightly below road level
3. A door which doesn't really shut well
4. Chicago-style 30mph wind
5. Chicago-style winter
6. A banana
(1) + (2) = flooded garage (7)
(3) + (4) = ajar door (8)
(7) + (8) + (5) = glacier (see below)
Yea. So i had a sheet of ice over my garage, which initially was kinda brittle and fun to crack through, because it was like stepping onto creme brulee with satisfying little crunches beneath your feet (except that your shoes got wet afterwardS) and then it became slightly more solid and you could gingerly walk across without it breaking as you see the water move beneath you, and then it became a solid layer of ice which would bear your weight if you jumped on it. It's kinda cool, and if i could be bothered now would be a good time to bring something and break up the ice and throw it away, because all the dirt and stuff has been frozen into the ice, which normally gets stuck in the garage since there's no drainage hole! mm.
So where's (6) come in to the story, you say?
Oh well I ate a banana for lunch before this.
