    Why do homeowners not want to take care of the ice?

    Black ice in Chicago nearly did me in

    No damage was done, thankfully. My biggest worry is the car sliding down and running someone over. My neighbor has little 5 year olds who run around on the sidewalk and play in the snow in front of my driveway. Luckily, this was midnight when it happened.

    Thinking to yourself?

    This is a question that has been bugging me for a while. When I think, my thoughts come in discrete sets of logic which are guided by speech / sound. However, how does a person who has never perceived sound think? Do they see themselves signing instead of hearing themselves speak? Thanks
