If I had the skill, I would do this post in Zork style, but I will not attempt the feat.
So March came in like a lion, all right. I checked the weather, and I swear that it said, "Light snow." What it did not mention was that, um, there was an awful lot of snow, even though it was light.
I had a jacket to pick up and a bill to pay at the Rideau Centre, so I intended to go by there before work. Fifteen minutes by bike to Rideau, 30 minutes from there to the bagelshop, leaving at 9:50 should get me to work by 11, right?
Um...
I can tolerate snow being knee-deep on the side streets, but once I got onto a main street, I discovered that my bike wasn't working, either.
