Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch.  Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat.  He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning.  On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed.  He would eat dinner with her after he was "presentable," as Alice had often said.

Totem poles are important to the Native Americans of the Northwest Coast. Most totem poles are made from red cedar and are carved with symbols. Animal and human figures are carved into the poles to represent a family, clan, or tribe's ancestry. For example, if a person's image is carved upside -down, it means he or she has done something foolish. This type of pole is called a "ridicule pole". Other poles are named based on the symbols they possess.
