This was kind of weird.

OK, so it's been cold here. Not like the rest of the country, but cold and icy for the pacific northwest. My little Ford Escort had gone unused for several days because I was driving our SUV whenever I had to go out.

Yesterday, I went to the store and conditions allowed me to take the small car. It started up just fine, but when I pulled out of the driveway, it was a little jerky. It behaved fine on the road, so I didn't think anymore about it.

Last night when I was taking the garbage out, I saw some ice impressions where the car had been. My car had been frozen to the ground! The jerk was due to me breaking the ice.

This has never happened to me in all of my 40 years. Is this something that goes on in places that have real winter? All of Drew's Crew from the east coast, mid west, and great white north let me know.

In other news -

*I auditioned for a part in a play, but didn't get it. :(
*I sent in an audition tape to Deal or No Deal. I feel the need for redemption for my Who Wants to be a Millionaire fiasco.

Sorry that I've been lax in my blogging duties. Things should be getting back to normal soon.

Thought for the day -

Don't be afraid to try new things. Progress is never made by people who stay in their comfort zones.

We had the same experience with the big rig after it went in the ditch. No fun.
