Firewood and Fur Coats

When you have a house with two fireplaces, you can go through a lot of wood in one cold Ottawa winter and the cord I had delivered in the fall was used up before the new year. This Friday, I finally got around to stopping by the place where I get our wood, and the woman there took my order for two more cords. It was one of the coldest days of the year, Environment Canada had issued a frost bite warning, so I wasn't really surprised to see her bundled up in a gigantic, rather odd-looking fur coat. But, what did leave me at a loss for words was when she told me that she was against using animals for fur, but the coat was different, she made it herself. Entirely out of road kill.
