Ice bullets

Something kind of cool that happened today: I painted a closet this afternoon (not the cool part). When I was done, I went outside to clean the paint brush. I turned on the garden hose and no water came out, but I could hear the water pressure from the spigot. I sat there and waited a bit, and eventually this little jet trickle sprayed out the end. I figured (correctly) that the hose must have frozen since its been so friggin cold, but I started to rinse the brush with the little bit of water I was getting. Suddenly, I felt a surge in the hose, followed by another and another. It took me a second to realize what was happening, but before I knew it, I was shooting sharp icycles out of the hose across the yard, where they shattered against the fence. This went on for several minutes and was quite satisfying. Like I said, nothing amazing, but it was definately kind of cool. Oh well. That is all. Return to your lives.
