it without knowing the plot ahead of time, <I>skip this page</I>.]</div> <div> Some shots of Mikey Carver's reveling in the ice storm were requested.  It was more difficult than I expected, because a lot of his reaction is audio--we see him running and sliding mostly from a distance, and hear him shouting in delight.  But here are some caps that, taken together, give something of an idea.  We know that his joy comes not only from the fun of slipping and sliding but from the fact that, in Mikey's universe, all of the molecules have been frozen out of the air, making it cleaner and easier to breathe. </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <A NAME="mikey_s_delight_top"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Running,
