My is it ever slushy out on the slopes. The warm weather we've been getting lately has wrecked havoc on the snow and all of the slopes were slow and slushy. Perfect for me! *practices more short rads*
I had my first panzarotti during lunch today. They're actually not that bad. I've never had a pizza pocket before so I wasn't sure of what to expect, nor was I sure as to how to properly eat the thing, but it was good filling meal.
On the way to the hill this evening, I nearly crashed into some guy turning onto the street. I don't know what he was thinking, or maybe s/he didn't have any depth perception, but the driver pulled out in front of me while I was speeding down the street. I had to jam on the breaks and missed the other car by a metre or so. I also pulled up to a car which had it's hazard lights on, but it was empty. There was some guy (and his dog) in the truck behind who told me that he was watching the car. I see. Off I go then!
The snow was very slow today due to all of the slush on the slopes. I got to practice a bit more on the toboggans, but I really want more practice with my short rads. Need to get those short rads!

wrecked is a word, but in the context of "wrecked havoc on..." it should be wreaked. Alternatively, you could say the hill was wrecked by the storm. Check the usage note off the link on my name.

oops! Sorry about that. Clearly, more caffeine is needed.

*sigh*, we're talking about English here. Spelling is a recent invention.
Point is, "wrecked" isn't wrong. Not by the usual measures of wrongness, anyway. Because people use it. There's at least one recpected authority that says it's right (see link above). And it won't be the first word to have multiple meanings.

People use "lite" and "nite" too, but I have no plans to like it. I'll just note that I'm siding with most of the dictionaries I've managed to check on-line, and ride off into the sunset...
