yet another reason i hate snow

I have been walking around all day in constant fear of the massive pieces of ice that fall from rooftops onto the ground with absolutely no warning and with alarming speed.

How come more people don't get hit by ice? It makes no sense. It seems like every time I go outside (not too often nowadays) I see rock-hard ice careening toward the ground everywhere I look as groups of cheery kids frolic by with rosy cheeks and annoying smiles. "You idiot kids," I scowl to myself, "one of you is going to get cracked in the skull with an errant iceberg and then those cheeks won't be so rosy!"

I think I am officially an irritable 78-year-old trapped in the body of a 22-year-old.
