. . . at a major craft store.

I wandered around, found a display of alphabet blocks.

You know the rest of the story.


We are still digging out from snow, car was crappy with mess on outside and inside. Ran it through the car wash where all the workers are Hispanic. I ordered from Amazon a 4-inch diameter magnet that has ICE in a red circle with red slash through it. Three of the workers saw it, gave me thumbs up.

Amazon: 2-Pack NO ICE Car Magnet
