As I told you in my last column, I fell on some ice before Christmas. I was just so very fortunate that I didn't break any bones or do permanent damage.
Since that time, I have been made aware of Yaktrax. These are coil grippers that slip over the soles of your shoes for walking in snow or ice. I was even given a set of them by someone wanting to help me in the future.
All I can tell you after using them is that they are really great and a big help this time of year, especially with the weather we have had.
I checked around after getting my pair and found that they are available on the Internet, as well as at Big 5 Sporting Goods in Minden.
If you need safety and solid footing, I would sure recommend Yaktrax.

Topaz Lake fishing season open
Jan. 1 was the first day of the fishing season at Topaz Lake that extends through April 11. If you catch a tagged fish, you will be in a season-ending drawing for $500 cash.
Also, any fish weighing 2 pounds or more will entitle you to $5 free slot play in the casino. Head on over to the lake and give it a try.
I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year's holiday. We'll also hope this year will be more successful and prosperous for all of us.
