True — of course in fairness if one has, say, 2 access routes and both get blocked by trees (entirely possible in ice storms in my region, as one example), well … then what? So it’s definitely a minimizing risk question (and how much is enough), not an avoiding risk question.

@Alexicographer – yep, the lack of emergency access is a wee bit concerning. But it has all been cleaned up now. They were pretty quick about it – only a few hours!

I’ll admit, and I say this as someone who’s lived on and appreciates the upsides of a dead-end road, that having lived through several really bad storms that caused a lot of tree damage over the years, I do now have some preference for living places that aren’t in only-one-way-out settings. Though as your morning illustrates, one-way-out for cars doesn’t necessarily mean there’s only one-way-out for humans, thank goodness. Indeed, my ideal might be to live somewhere where I am on a no-outlet street, but one equipped with greenways that (in a pinch) can accommodate emergency vehicles, a design that’s becoming increasingly common where I live.

Sounds like a hectic morning, but some creative problem solving made it manageable. I can’t WAIT to hear more about your shopping with Lani. I think you and I have similar styles so I am excited to see what she found for you.

@Lani – exactly! I’m wearing the blazer and a pair of jeans today though.
