I was walking home from the grocery store today, a normal thing to do. I saw a puddle but I didn't think much of it since, being in Ireland, I see puddles quite often. It was a shallow puddle in the middle of the sidewalk so I wasn't going to walk around it. I get halfway across the puddle and my feet suddenly slip out from under me. The puddle is not a puddle of water, but rather a puddle of ice. Ouch. I never had to deal with ice in Arizona...
