A Problem with Engineering (by Sadie Spinner)
Synopsis: Winter in the high Sierras can be harsh, one of the most difficult aspects being the removal of deep snows that come often and heavy. The constant need to clear the area around the house, barn and other out buildings was exhausting and very time consuming. Thus, a teenage Adam with the unintentional inspiration of his new, young, enthusiastic, if unaware teacher, devised what he envisioned as the perfect method for quick removal of all the snow, alleviating the need for shoveling every few days. The story chronicles the result from a recent history lesson gone awry.
