not just an exercise in physics…
so the other day it was freakout everything covered in sheets of ice. but I, taking the metro, had no problems getting to school, much to the amazement of anyone I ran into there (I’m still making my way around town with a cane, which everyone loves btw). all to say, it was rather bad, but I was smart/lucky enough to go up the mcgill hill via stanley, which had no traffic, so I walked up the middle of the street…
little did I know, the reason there was no traffic was because dr. penfield was completely closed off. and had I gone up peel st, I would have been ‘rescued’ by firemen, who actually threw down ropes and pulled people up the hill! I kid you not. a kodak moment if there ever was one…
so lines of people were being dragged on their stomachs up a steep slope of ice. which begs the question, wtf did they do this? wouldn’t you say the intervention of firemen is a good time to, uh, close the school down??
