This warming trend has got to stop!

As much as I like the warmer air on my skin
during this "storm" in LA, the ice rink has suffered
tremendously due to the meltdown. Thanks, Gore!
We have had so many issues since he received the
peace prize, you would think he has a HAARP of
his own! As far as wondering about the effects

our melting ice rink will have on the neighborhood come
spring, this may be a preview of expected watershed
and we can properly prepare for what we will be up
against in May. It is a good time to pick all the sticks
from it, yes? I can already see that larger drainage

trenches need excavated and the neighbors should, really
invest in sand bags. If this warm front blows over and
the temperature drops below 32 again, we should

have the largest ice rink this side of Ben Boeke Arena.
It may take some time to freeze, but the surface area
should leave plenty of room to perform a haircutter,
Shoot-the-duck, or Y-spiral - disregarding the

Zayak rule. As far as "bringing your skates over", don't
bother - it will be a few days before the ice is in any
shape to perform on. I will keep you informed on the
opening of the new ice rink - until then, try to
keep your feet dry.

Yep, looks likeyou may be in a little touble, ever considered trying to retain it and stocking it with rainbows? Who else has a fishing pond in their back yard. Hate to see it happen, but I foresee the HITW in the same situationj andf we did not even build a rink. A lot of meadow to drain and it always seems to drain downhill, why is that?

Looking at the picture of your window with your throwpillows floating around as well as the amounty of water around your house. If the temps do drop below 32 degrees, I owuld suggest you get on Crqaig's List and look for a used Zamboni.

Good tip on the zamboni. It might take 'til April to "finish" the neighborhood otherwise.
It is currently 26 degrees and the rink is gettin' stiff. I floated it with water late this afternoon with hopes of freeze...

Afraid to post your name after a comment like that?

Was that your "anonymous" comment, Stan? Maybe "coming out" is right for you this year. Looking forward to seeing you in your pony tail playing with bocci balls.... and remember - we love you no matter WHAT!

Stan Harrington said...

If you feel the incessant urge,
and your tongue is sharp and quick,
leave a worthless thought for me
whether cool, or fun, or sick.
