Neither Snow, Nor Rain, Nor Heat, Nor Gloom Of Night...

Aha, but what about ice?  Gotcha there, Post Office.

 Last night, after several inches of hard-packed snow on frozen ground met a good hard rain, all the dirt roads turned into sheets of ice.  Cars were luge sleds.  This was my road this afternoon, after several hours of 50+ degress started melting some of the ice.

 

And right in front of my driveway:

 

 

The mail lady didn't come today.  I don't blame her.

A Pep Talk In Every Drop!

Feeling down?  Need to know someone's in your corner?  Have a cough drop.

But it has to be a Halls cough drop, because they have "A pep talk in every drop!"

Who knew?  I didn't, not until my recent sore throat when I looked down at the wrapper of my Halls tropical fruit flavored drops, and saw, "Buckle down and push forth!"  Huh?  I smoothed out the paper and there was more.  "Nothing you can't handle."  "Don't waste a precious minute."

That's a lot of advice from one cough drop.  So I yanked the two previous wrappers from the waste basket.

"You can do it and you know it."
"Get through it."
"Put your game face on."
"Flex your can-do muscle."
"Let's hear your battle cry."
"Seize the day."

All that advice on one wrapper!  Better than a fortune cookie!  On to the next:
"Be resilient."
"Fire up those engines!"
"Go for it."
"Get back in there champ!"

All right!  I feel so much better!  I may start carrying these things around with me as my own personal trainer/coach.  The Halls advantage.  Watch out world, I'm pumped!
