Every morning I walk over to the other teacher apartment building to meet up with a group of teachers before school. Since it is polar bear season and still very dark in the mornings, we feel most comfortable walking in small groups. Probably this has a reverse effect and makes us too comfortable (so that we let our guards down), but there is no sense in being terrified every morning on the mile walk to school.
When I get there, I usually have to tunnel into the door and tunnel out with a shovel so I can dig them out of their place. This morning I walked up to their door and discovered that the doorknob was clear down by my knee. I felt like Alice in Wonderland, only there was no magical pill to take. I had to shovel snow instead to fix my dilemma.
