‘Vodka martini, shaken not stirred’ isn’t really Bond’s drink of choice! The real winner is whiskey (if you count both Scotch and Bourbon) followed by champagne.

Today saw this year’s first installment of Pavonia’s favorite game, “Escape the falling ice blocks of death”.

This game, born out of bad building architecture, is mostly due to my office’s building being made out of mostly smooth stone with windows that are flush to the stone surface. Whenever we are in a blizzard-type situation, as we were last weekend, the show forms little patches in certain places on the stone. Then, on the next sunny day — which was today — the stone areas get warmed by the sun, loosening the little snow-and-ice patches, which fall several stories down to the sidewalk below. Building maintenance has to cordon off areas in front of the building to avoid injuries and/or deaths from the rapidly plumetting missiles. No one’s kept an official injury count yet, but when you factor in that the building is over 20 stories high chances are that there have been a few of those.

Good times, good times…
