BrilliantEditor and I went out to dinner at our friends' house. They have a long driveway. We parked at the bottom of it. We should have parked at the top. We couldn't get up it. We had to ask our friend to help us. Poor darling. He and his wife (mostly his wife, really, since she cooked) fed and watered us and then we had to drag him out of his toasty house and into the cold where he shoveled some ice out of our way (I tried, but was generally not useful) and put salt down and we made it up and all was well.
I think that I might actually want to get an SUV or some kind of vehicle that has grippier feet. Ah well. Someday there will be fuel efficient vehicles with grippy feet. And I will be most pleased.
To thank them for the meal we received, I was going to write a thank you note. Now, I think they'll get a thank you note and a bag of salt with a big bow on it.
Maybe if I hadn't eaten so much...
