As I was pulling into the garage this
morning after Tai Chi, I felt the wheels spin on the short steep incline. A
dash light came on in the 2014 car indicating a slipping situation. Next, I could
feel the car assert itself, grab hold, and go on into the garage without going
from side to side. I was impressed. I am thanking that engineer who figured
that trick out. I was saved from hitting the pole between the doors or the
other side of the garage.
Shoveling off the snow that the tires
had dragged up that incline seemed like a good solution. However after that had
come off, I realized that the snow in the alley was clinging to the tires. I
cleared off an area about four feet by ten feet, hoping that will be enough to
stop my anxiety from getting a grip on me. I have to confess that I mostly concentrated
on my side of the garage so Leroy is more on his own. However I know from past
experience that he has the less steep side and it is not usually so difficult.
Tomorrow if the weather is good I will
get a number of my books delivered to the little free libraries. I have once
again gotten a grant so I can put in new books that are aimed at many cultures
and about middle reader level. I was able to get almost twice as many books for
my money. Sales are good. Now the trick will be to find those libraries. I know
where some are, but not all. There is also a new one two blocks from me so that
is nice. Hopefully all walks will be shoveled or have melted off. I am so
grateful for those who clear their sidewalks. I send them a mental note of
thanks, hoping they feel the good vibes in the air around them.
