My family home has a hill to one immediate side of it, and I remember my dad one year took our snowblower and piled all of the snow from the sidewalk and a good share of our front yard at the top so to artificially raise the height of the hill by another three or four feet.
Particularly good sledding as I recall, that year. :D
The closest we got to this was when we built a foot tall dam over a creek. It lasted almost a year before being washed away. We used what was left as a bridge/walkway after that. I think a very small bit of it remains.
Panel 2: A childhood memory of my father’s bothered him ever after—a cheesy record with “Santa Claus” reading “Now we will go to the room next door / Where the Christmas tree reaches from the ceiling to the floor.” That sounded wrong to him. Yet was it in Sally Forth that the family hung their tree from the ceiling this year?

I zoomed to 500%, still cannot make out what is sliding along with him. The ever-present seagull, perhaps?

Got a chuckle from the seagull joining in the fun in panel 2.

This is a scene from my childhood. Is that also true for you?

One’s aspirations should always exceed one’s abilities. Except when mating.

Part of the learning process is figuring out how to match up your reach with your grasp.
