Watch your step! Just Ice is not using Precip-Ice, the non-skid solution to bad falls on slippery melting ice. Not N-Ice. |

Snow use complaining now. They should have thawed of that frost of all, before deciding what the business was to be cold. Solid branding advice is not freeze. |

good name for my glacier mining company, which will simultaneously fix the desalinization of the oceans, the rising of the sea level, and the depletion of underground aquifers. |
