A reminder from the distant past…back in the third grade, 47 years ago, we moved to a new house in the Oceanview neighborhood of Anchorage, Alaska. I wanted to continue going to my old school, Rabbit Creek Elementary School, but to get there, I would have to walk 1.5 miles both ways in the freezing cold in the winter. I remember the walk pretty well. I had to go through one neighborhood, then another, then across the main highway through Anchorage on a long pedestrian bridge, and the wind was very cold on that bridge. I tried it a day or two, in January—and that was enough for me. So I went to Oceanview Elementary School, and made new friends there.
Well, that pedestrian bridge just blew down in 70-mph winds.
