The day when St. John's lost its sidewalks

(Reader advisory: irony ahead)

To be sang with the melody of 'This used to be our playground' by Madonna

(What? You don't know it? Didn't have the C-cassette back in the 90s? OK, then maybe just wait for the next post or look at the pictures.)

'This used to be our sidewalk

This used to be our stroller's path

This used to be the street I'd walk on

On my way to this or that

No more,

Now there is snow and ice, 

And nobody clearing it'

(Side note: the stroller has been replaced by a Stiga Snow racer, but it's proving to be a little risky method of transportation taking into account the steepness of hills and E's need to learn to use the breaks. Status on the Stiga driving school and the height of snow banks to be expected in a few weeks).
