Feeling a bit like Batman

I went for a walk tonight out in the snow. I put my Sutton Pastors tabbard/jacket in my pocket in case I might use it if I saw anyone who needed help and as I was walking down the main hill into town there were loads of cars struggling up the hill. So I put the tabbard on and started helping to push the cars. Quite a few members of the public joined in and we did it for about an hour until the traffic had died down.
Definitely one of the best ways to experience time in the snow.

My more-proficient foreign language is Japanese, and in Japanese they say "Sekai ga hirokute semai," meaning "The world is wide, yet cramped"--though I don't think the Japanese phrase has the negative overtone that my English rendering of it has. Maybe "The world is wide, yet narrow" would be better.

Whatever the idiom--yes, it is!
