Life in Poland – I’m sure some of you remember coal chutes that were used to deliver coal to home basements so it could be burned for heating during the winter.  Well they have those in Poland too but have you every heard of a potato chute?  Today at our daughter’s school, we observed the potato truck (yes there is such a thing) delivering potatoes to the school cafeteria by means of a chute running into the basement of the building!  It was one of the strangest sites.  It was one of the many times in Poland that I have said to myself, “I wish I had the camera!”
