A Wintry Welcome

Zach and I drove to Iowa City to visit Aaron and Sharon for the weekend. Iowa City is always about 10 degrees colder than Lawrence, and while that is awesome in the summer it is fucking awful here right now.

Within moments of our arrival we were leaving to pick Sharon up at the hospital. Aaron drove Sharon's car directly into the giant snow dune in front of him, and got the front axle (of the front-wheel-drive car) high-centered on some extremely dense snow and ice. It took us about three hours to liberate the car. Casualties included: a mop, a tennis racket, my right shoe, my coat, our pride, and a hanger. We ended up having to buy a shovel to get it free.

Once free, Sharon spent about five minutes hacking apart the icy mountain the car had been stuck upon. I asked her later whether this was a public service or vengeance. She assured me it was both.
