Scraping Ice

One half hour it took to chisel my car from the ice. About four inches of ice accumulated on parts of my windshield over the past days. This is not an exaggeration, nor is this a complaint, just the honest to God truth. Simply a statement of fact. Coldness slows everything; honey, traffic, molecular motion. I think winter slows us to pace at which we were meant to live. I calibrates or internal clocks and reminds us, somethings just take time.
