Hi Erik,

OK - I'm Guilty.  I wasn't always that good about keeping my sidewalks
clear up in Ohio ... thats what kids walking to school are for, right? ...
but I have to say I've been absolutely exemplary about keeping the snow
off my sidewalk at my new house!!  ;-P

Hey, as long as you're in Minnie-soter ... try the sidewalks in Duluth!!

Yee Gods!  Not only are they icy ... but they are *extremely* steep! The
entire city is built on the side of a hill.

Ah yes ... "the air-conditioned city" ...
</PR>

Duluth is kind of the San Francisco of the central US.  There are good
sized sections that are *that* kind of steep.

Oh - but you've got that *dry* cold in Minnesota ... that's not _nearly_ as
bad as the *damp* cold in Chicago or Cleveland!
