Hosed... part ll?

Apparently, the idea I had in a previous post regarding hosing down my snowy driveway and then salting it down has gotten me into a bit of trouble. And by a bit of trouble, I mean possible lawsuit.

My driveway’s fine, but I hadn’t taken into account H20’s ability to flow downhill and pool elsewhere, which it did, in front of an old woman’s house. Apparently she wasn’t expecting there to be ice on the ground during the winter and went haphazardly trouncing down to her mailbox, throwing caution to the wind, falling, and snapping her coccyx (tailbone). Now her son’s all up in arms, telling me I was negligent and threatening to “sue my a$$”.

I’m having them over for dinner tomorrow night to try to smooth things over. We’ll see what develops.
