Why I will never take up cross country skiing, aside from the fact that I live in Phoenix

My mom and dad planned a day to get to know new friends while they enjoyed what there is to do in Spokane. They came down upon a family of little ones playing in the snow but who were slow to get off the trail. My parents friend fell when she tried to miss hitting the kids and my mom fell trying not to hit her friend.
Consequently, they heard a CRACK... and then there was a lot of pain...
She has broken her ankle and is waiting to hear if she needs to have surgery.
Could you imagine a better way to spend living in the snow cave of Spokane where you don't know anyone?? Neither can I. Mom, we love you!
