Game delays

[Montana Grizz]

Hey Chuck,

When you mentioned ice and slipping, it reminded me of an incident that happened to me in the mid-80's.

I walked out the door of a bar, down an alley and across the main street to yet another bar one evening.

I slipped on ice in the middle of the main street and fell down. No physical damage due to all the layers of clothing I was wearing, but my eye-glasses fell off my head.

I am so near sighted, I could not find my glasses as I scrambled around on all fours in search of them.

I did notice some blurry headlights heading my way and decided to get to a sidewalk and give up the search for my glasses.

As I stood on the sidewalk wondering what I might do next, a gentleman approached me and gave me my glasses. Since I had no spare glasses and 20/500 vision, this has always been a memory of the greatest gift I have ever received for Christmas.

P.S. Before someone makes a comment about my drinking, I can assure you that I was in those bars soliciting contributions for a local charity and any odor of alcohol on my breath must have been some sort of transfer from spilled alcohol that was transferred from the bar top to my clothing :chin:

It was many years after this incident that I gave up collecting for various charities and took up the consumption of alcohol as a hobby.
