I sometimes wonder who was the first to use the statement. The poem for Vivaldi's "Winter" of the Four Seasons says something quite similar: "We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling." Yet this was truly the case for me tonight. I was walking in New York City at quite a late time today in order to get some food for later. As I walked, I saw some people in the distance on all fours, sliding slowly in front of me. It was quite a strange sight. Then as I walked closer, one person shouted "Black Ice!" It was amazing, as I walked forward I found myself sliding as well. After quite a bit of difficulty I was able to go past the seemingly insurmountable iced sidewalk. Finally, as I was buying food from the 24 hour deli, a doctor walked in and was laughing a lot. I asked him what had happened. It was the exact same problem I had encountered earlier. The difference, the doctor gave up much faster, and walked on the street (which had no ice and few cars). He used a much more intelligent albeit dangerous (actually more safe than the ice) method to accomplish the same trek for food.<br />Happy New Year!<br />--Eric</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4524729056608645492-4052259656810504877?l=ericsilberger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eblognoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524729056608645492.post-17745848059501143122008-12-30T21:31:00.001-08:002009-06-13T10:09:49.370-07:00<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1NPKWvH-Mhk/SVsI2x7SN3I/AAAAAAAAAIw/f99DXK73-GM/s1600-h/IMG_4230crop2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285828324857362290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: left" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1NPKWvH-Mhk/SVsI2x7SN3I/AAAAAAAAAIw/f99DXK73-GM/s320/IMG_4230crop2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1NPKWvH-Mhk/SVsENnDwZ_I/AAAAAAAAAIY/gffT114MRbA/s1600-h/IMG_4128copy.jpg"><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4524729056608645492-1774584805950114312?l=ericsilberger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eblognoreply@blogger.com0
