Stephanie SalterYou normally can count on your paper carrier
By Stephanie Salter The schools were closed, an office colleague already had called to say she couldn’t get out of her snow-bound corner of Clay County, and another coworker (and neighbor) had offered me a ride downtown in her Jeep. Standing at my kitchen window, I strained to see if any tire tracks marked my now-hidden driveway or if a set of footprints crossed the unshoveled snow above my buried sidewalk.
