Yesterday was the last of a mild spell, so I stayed very busy on outdoor jobs. Today, I'd planned to rest and wait out a major windstorm. Then it dropped a big chuck of tree across my driveway and on the sidewalk. I got it down to chunks I could move, but got rubbery-legged doing it. I used a swede saw, but it was getting an awful lot of friction.. Then I had to wear ice studs on my shoes to make it two blocks to the newsbox, leaning far into the wind.
