So That’s What It’s For
I was scraping the thick sheets of ice off my car last night when I finally realized what those sharp protrusions on the back of the ice scraper were for. I had always just thought that they were some kind of fancy design thing to make the scraper look cool, when in fact they are your last line of defense when there is thick ice that your main blade can’t get past. Which got me to thinking… those ice scrapers sure are well designed. I wonder how long it took before it became the standard stick with blade, brush, and claw that we all know and love today.

Unrelated to snow woes, but the banner looks awesome! Yay for chiaroscuro!

Heh, I came to that conclusion too about the ice scrapers after scratching the ice off my windshield this weekend too!
