Ice

One October, my wife and I spent a vacation on Washington's Olympic
Peninsula. We were eager to visit the rain forests near the coast,
but we heard that snow slides had made some of the roads impassable.
Although apprehensive about the conditions we might run into, we
drove on.

Sure enough, we had only gone a short way up the High Rain Forest
road when we saw a sign that read, "Ice: 10 Miles." Five miles
farther on, there was another sign that said, "Ice: 5 Miles." The
next one read, "Ice: 1/2 Mile."

We practically crept that half-mile. We finally came to the last
sign. It was outside a small grocery store and it said, "Ice: 75
Cents."
