This only seems to happen once or twice a year, thank goodness. Wait until this afternoon when it rains more, and all the drains are blocked up so all the pavements become ice-troughs with an inch or two of icy water in them and the cars spray the stuff everywhere.

surely $6 eqauls 12 big macs, then all you need to do is jump a rail car - hoboe style

The rail cars are a bit big and scary round here. I think I'll need some serious plyometrics before jumping is in order!
