Then I used to walk the mile to university every morning in the dark in Kansas, there were those times in the winter when it snowed and it stayed around for a few days. When the sun came out in the day, it would make icycles hanging from eaves and tree branches, etc.

One of the streets I would cross on my walk every morning was called Jewell Street. The street sign always had tiny icycles hanging from it, glistening in the light from the street lamp. I always smiled (behind the muffler tightly wrapped around my mouth and nose) because the sign did look like a glistening jewel in the light of the lamp.
