Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 26, 2015

Interesting how Randy never ratted on Ralph in “A Christmas Story.”

The first thing a little sister learns!

Petey is too good-hearted to leave Alice stranded in the snowdrift, but I would be sorely tempted….

Question: When you were a kid did you go sledding or sled riding? In the suburbs of Cincinnati we went sled riding. Now I like to sit by the fire and watch it out of the window. LOL.

As a kid, I went sledding in Dormont Park in Pittsburgh, PA. Now, I can’t visit the grandkids in polar-vortex Wisconsin this time of year, because of the snow and other comforts.Incidentally, I recently found that while US 19 is a main drag in St. Petersburg, FL, it also abuts Dormont Park in Pittsburgh!

North Jersey: sledding. And we too persisted, regardless of how cold or wet we got! Helped that we were only a block from the best hill.

On a farm in Minnesota, we went sledding. I remember being bundled up so much in layers underneath a snowsuit, I could barely move – it was great for rolling around on the ground!

Sleds,tobaggan,cardboard box. Lots of hills here where i live,for the last 70yrs. I sledded on Rt2,thru the center of town,1949,dirt road,except the hill,was paved. Memorys,memorys. sigh. :) Peace.

I grew up in Southern California. What’s this sledding you talk about?

I hope this won’t be just he 2nd. run. The 1st didn’t go well. I love these 2, Petey has got to be like someone that Richard Thompson knows.And Alice is sso funny.Richard T. I hope your health is getting better, or at least not worse!You are so gifted! We all love you.

we went sledding in sw ohio.we also had wonderful hills close by. our dad would join us and we all had a blast. i still love the snow. (missing my dad!) nostalgia!!

Southern CA……museum in LA would haul snow from Mt Baldy and dump it on a hill so kids could sled……but once I could drive I went up on my own or travel up north.

NYC suburbs, we went sledding. Everywhere I have been in the northeast US, it’s sledding.I wonder if this is Petey’s first experience with blackmail.

Sledding in NW PA. Petey should be more patient. One ride down doesn’t qualify as taking your sister sledding.
