What the!

I was walking along, mere steps from my alley this morning, when rocks or ice or something fell from the building I was walking next to and hit me in the face! They scraped my nose, and I'm bleeding. Boy, it's not every day I go into the office with a bloodied face. I think I scared my boss.

oh noes

Yah, sure. I just look extra tough now. Or something.

you are having a weird luck day. I would go to the nearest american legion bar and buy 7$ worth of pull tabs and a gross cheap beer. You may win big with the cosmos interacting with you the way it is....

Hmm. There's an SA in walking distance. Maybe I'll get a couple scratch-offs. I never do that.

AHHHHH! When I was walking though my backyard ice chunks were falling everywhere an I was like, oh, no, I better not stay outside. Clearly, it is not safe out there.
Go go tough-girl!

Downtown Minneapolis had giant ice chunks the size of yer head falling umpteen billion stories onto the street today. The library and the IDS just had the majority of the landing zones blocked off. It made Nicollet Mall a tad more exciting. In an "oh crap, I'm going to die from ice-bludgeoning" kinda way.

Yeah, I'm glad that ice falling at a velocity sufficient to bloody your nose didn't land on your head.

Eep! Glad you're only nicked. (Not stolen, the other kind.)

A big piece of ice fell off our roof and knocked most of the 50-year-old ivy that's on our chimney down from its trellis. The chimney part will make it, fortunately.

I will say, I was rather fond of watching the trees rain.
