Sooo pretty a sight when we see it here but BIG trouble later for us and all who depend on the runoff for sustenance. <br /><br />My mother's mom's last name was Osborne. They were from Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. Too many of them to call you Cuz. Not related, my ex's middle name was Yvonne.<br /><br />I too like flash writing. For the longest on my other blog for Sunday/Monday posts I wrote Flash 140 characters and spaces. On the poem blog I wrote a short series, The Xentor Tales, for Cate. Anthony North was writing (may be still) a lot of Flash stuff, even books, free, of them.<br /><b> http://anthonynorth.com/ </b>, you may have written fiction with him.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-19122609617988168622014-11-02T22:31:31.634-08:002014-11-02T22:31:31.634-08:00enjoyed this pen ~enjoyed this pen ~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-66254506989267915072014-11-02T20:25:59.788-08:002014-11-02T20:25:59.788-08:00I honestly really enjoyed reading this post!

And thank you so much.<br /><br />Jemi,<br />I think that's a great idea. At some intersections here they dump a little sand, and they use it more up north because the salt won't work below a certain temperature. More decisions here are based on cost than environmental impact.
