Some will have crashed on the ice
Winter is long and hard. Especially when nature lays down a glare of ice; the rules of gravity and friction join in an uneasy marriage that tests my mettle. I don’t like to fall down, and practice safe walking at all times. I am also Canadian, and I’ve been seen with steel blades under my feet, attempting to redefine those abovementioned rules. I still fall down, but in between there are episodic moments of glee. Please note that the technique, known colloquially as skating, relies on a plane surface with zero degrees of elevation. Flat is good.
