Life in the second global economy

Accumulated snow caused a Cantabrigian to get her mini-van stuck in the middle of our one-way street this morning, blocking the schoolbus. We parents marched our children down from the bus stop to try and help her unstick her van. Fortunately, a Middle Eastern cab driver was also stuck behind her.  He probably never saw snow before coming to the U.S., but he is the one who coached her on how to get the vehicle some traction, and finally took over behind the wheel and freed it himself.
