The Cars Have it Better
Today, in the aftermath of the snow storm in which 6-8 inches lay on the ground, I was navigating the walk home from the theatre. At one intersection, I took to the roadway. It suddenly occurred to me that the roadway, which is cleared by the City was in much better shape than the sidewalks …
