Crazy Carpets matting down the rough

When Rupert the Bear or Oor Wullie slid down hills in the hardcover cartoon annuals sent from Scotland when I was a kid it was "sledging" not "sledding". Whatever it is called, for those of you worried that we sold the farm when we...sold the farm and moved to the city, this is the view from the from window of the family sleddging.

Earlier: I saw a Northern Harrier - a medium sized hawk identifiable by a white patch above its tail and its habit of flying slowly a few feet above the ground - tracking over ice next door at Elevator Bay this morning. I don't know if this means the ice mice have moved south or if it had a hankering for fish.
