“Beyond the confines of the shut door”

The letter penned by Mr. Pat O’Brien, dated May 14th, brought to the forefront of my memory a refreshing anecdote from a few years prior. In the bustling town of Athlone, a store had erected two signs on its entrance. The first declared the door to be ‘Automatic’, but comically, a second one directly beneath urged visitors to ‘Push’. Fondly,
