Shoveling three feet of snow.
Why were you shoveling snow?
So the first responders could reach me if I had a heart attack.
As you can see, I did not have a heart attack. These words of irony did occur to me as I shoveled our walk to the street.
Why did you shovel out to the street?
So the mail carrier can get to our house.
Has the mail carrier come yet?
No, she hasn’t. But it is still early considering the conditions.
If she is delayed, won’t the snow fill in again.
Please, don’t make me think about it. You’ll give me a heart attack.
