Ice chip off the auction block

Well, the shipment of Colorado snow I ordered on eBay last week arrived in my mailbox on Monday

I’m neither elated nor disappointed because, quite frankly, I didn’t really know what to expect.

There was no real indication of how much “snow” I would be getting. But I had hoped for more than a thimbleful, which is what I got. I thought I would have at least enough to make a snowball because, after all, I paid 99 cents, plus $2 shipping.

By the time it arrived in my zip code, it had long since melted, of course. It was sent first-class mail but I’m sure it began to liquify about the time it hit the Mississippi line and made a lukewarm trip through Alabama and Georgia.

I had said all along I would re-freeze it and make a snowball. No chance of that now. I’ve got about enough for an ice chip.

Now, for my next trick. …
