The First of the L.L.A. List

salt shaker
I cut across town the back way as I headed to the office for a meeting a few winters ago so I could drop off a library book that was due. My mind was wandering through the details of the day ahead when one of Life's Little Absurdities (LLA) popped into view....

A young employee for a small auto repair shop was out by the edge of the road. He was walking back and forth across the business's driveway and when I passed him and realized what he was really doing, I had to smile. I wondered who assigned him the job of using a small glass salt shaker's contents to break up or dissolve the ice bank at the top of the driveway? It's the honest-to-goodness truth. You can't make up these things.
