Skipping in the Streets

People are hopping, skipping, tip toeing and leaping in the streets today. This is not typical New Yorker behavior. The reason everyone is so spritely are the gi-normous puddles of slush covering the sidewalks and creating an expansive and treacherous radius of mushy-wetness around each street corner. It looks like someone took one part white cherry slurpee, one part ash, mixed it up and dumped it in the streets.

It is the fear of being attacked by this ash-slurpee mixture that has the locals doing their silly little snow-dance in the streets.

Oh, and remember not to stand too close to the curb when the cars are driving by... cars act like catapults and the slush will get you.

Why cherry slurpee?

A white-cherry slurpee... It was the only color-appropriate flavor.

Ahhh, slush puddle. I remember you well, my old foe. My wardrobe has never recovered from our frequent run-ins.
