Worse Than Watching Paint Dry

One of the many disadvantages to being a shut-in is maintaining a sense of proportion. Yesterday's ice melt seemed like such a monumental event that I limped outside to get this footage. Here's the caption I wrote for YouTube: "What's more boring than watching paint dry? How about watching ice melt! Even so, I couldn't resist filming the bombardment created by the sun's emergence a couple days after a moderate ice storm. The sound you hear isn't rain. And the white flashes aren't blemishes in the film. It's ice falling from trees."
