It Works as Designed
This weekend we had a threat of an ice storm, and it was much talked about in the news. In end, it amounted to nothing; it was apparently too warm to ice storm, and we got mostly rain, although its cold enough to freeze now. These people had it much much worse. Anyway, this morning I had to make a trip to the Post Office to pick up a package, and to my chagrin my car was covered in ice and I couldn’t open the doors. This is the first time I’ve ever had all four doors freeze up on me. After about 5 minutes I finally got the passenger door open, and was able to open to start the car and run my errands. After arriving back home, I decided to make sure all the doors can open, while the car is warm. Back door still won’t open from the outside, so I climb into the back seat from the front, and start pushing from the inside. Nothing. I start banging on the edges of the door, trying to loosen the ice up. Nothing. I put my shoulder into it. Nothing. I’m about to start kicking…and then I notice that the back doors are locked.
