[nagdu] The look, snow plows as pooper scoopers and other things.

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Basically, without walking a long way in a snow storm, the only place for 
the dog to go was the edge of a street so narrow that no one ever drives 
down it. I was in the way, because there is no way to be there and not be in 
the way. This is predominantly a walking only street.



My job is working at the check in desk at the computer lab. My coworker did 
not show up because of the snow.



I am going to ask someone to help me find a better place tomorrow, because I 
will be in that building a lot.



But, the question at hand is, would you have let the woman help you, or 
remained adamant about doing it yourself.
