we prepared pretty well for the storm and didn't lose power but we're Still iced in. it stopped sleeting for long enough tonight for me to strap some microspikes onto my sneakers and walk to a convenience store for milk, which made me laugh because even back in new hampshire i never needed microspikes for anything except hiking. when it ices here, there is nothing to be done. nh infrastructure is full of salt trucks and plows and shovels for sidewalks and whatnot, but here there will be full inches of ice on the road and on the sidewalks until it melts. usually it melts in a day! when you're feeling the effects of ongoing climate catastrophe, tho, it does not. It Cold
anyway it felt good to get out of the house and stretch my legs but my calves and feet are now burning So Bad. walking a mile having to dig spikes into ice with every step is probably the physical equivalent of 2-3 miles on normal terrain.
also i fell once when the spikes on one foot slipped off but i didn't die. 🥳

I don't have the photoshop skills to create the meme I have in my head but if anyone sees this and wants to make it real please go ahead. In the meantime, here's a hypothetical image description:
An overlapping text meme with the classic white font over a background photo. The background is a photo of a seemingly-bare patch of sidewalk on a grey winter morning. The cement looks a little damp, or perhaps slightly shiny.
The top text reads "I you can walk on me", obscuring the words "Do it I dare you".
The bottom text reads "I am a normal sidewalk", obscuring the words "you will break every bone in your body".

I just wanna say seeing bro and dave interact always warms my heart and makes me feel some type of nostalgia, because it reminds me and my older sibling and myself. thanks for making this blog, it always makes me smile :)
[Awe well thank you!! It's been nice to draw them being sweet with each other, though considering what's coming I hope for your sake your older sibling isn't exactly the same way! But either way I'm glad you're enjoying my fun little blog so far :) ]
[Also please don't mind the pen and paper doodle here, I don't currently have my tablet with me]

Possibly one of the most Canadian memories I have is being in kindergarten and doing a class science experiment which was testing which substances were the most effective at melting ice. We went outside and got buckets of snow, portioned them onto little plates, and poured various things over them to leave over night. One of the things we put on the snow was maple syrup.

I have no idea what tags I need to put to have this reach a knowledgeable audience…
I’m planning a large chalk art project, and I need to know how many square feet one regular stick of chalk can color in. I’ll also take square meters, as long as someone can answer my question. Please?
