Icy Tree of Death
After two solid days of freezing rain the office is nearly empty today. Some people aren’t coming in because of icy roads and some aren’t coming in because they’re dealing with massive power outages. Some are using both excuses. I’m here because I’m from Michigan, which everyone points out when they see me at my desk. “It isn’t big deal for you is it?” Actually, no, not at all. Slip it into four wheel and drive a little slower than normal—piece of cake. Yesterday when an iced over tree cracked and nearly fell on my jeep when I drove by, that was sort of a big deal. It wasn’t big enough to kill me, but the branches probably would have ripped right through my soft top, which would have been a serious pain to deal with.

You should do training courses for the staff of your office to show them how to drive in "treacherous" icy conditions. You'd make a killing!

I was bragging about you and how you're the only one that ever goes to work on these days today :)
