They really work? I had a pair of yaktrax in my hot little hands, and had never heard of anyone who could vouch for them. After that marvelous casserole recipe, I would believe anything you say... almost! If they work, I would like to recommend them to my clients, too - there are WAY too many broken hips in the winter!

That said, I'm supposed to go to Chicago right after New Years. It better be at least a little bit warmer, none of this below zero nonsense!!
