It was probably comical to watch as I walked on this sidewalk. It ever so slightly ran uphill (since my neighborhood is 1 hill after another this is no surprise) and my upwards progress was stopped and I uncontrolably began to slide backwards. Eventually my composure was regained and I took a picture of this sparkingly glazed icy sidewalk. The (non-existant) litigious side of me was looking @ the house, whose property this sidewalk was on, with scorn. But its all good -- I survived and walked in the street till all was clear.
