holy snowly!!
the old snow blower is earnin' it's price tag this winter! jeez! the snow gods took a good dump these past couple 3 days (I could've worded that better). I called in (stalag) yesterday, letting my boss know that I'd be late after hearing from a neighbor that there were a gob o' cars stuck just down the only road to get out of this wood-panel submarine park (I mention I'd be late, but had no intention of going anywhere all day). she (da boss) texts me back saying don't bother coming in. she cancelled today for our line (shweet!!). I quickly relayed the text to work bud Mark, who in turn thanked me, for not having to brave the elements just to find that info out. Brian (room mate/gangsta wannabe) got called into his job at 4:30am. once back home, he tells me the whole story about all slide offs, including him. he had to walk a long way to get help. he said there was a tow truck that offered to pull him out for $150 (damn!), but he had someone (who was also in the ditch) help him rock it out, in turn, helping that guy rock his out. the main drag that hooks to the trailer park is often the last road to get plowed, being that road is on the dividing line between two counties (my guess is one county says "that's yours to plow", the other says "nu-uh). I remember some winter's back, I tried to brave it thru. never again. once on, you had to run and gun, and if you stopped, even on the road itself, you were stuck. it's that bad! I did nothing but snow blow driveways and watch a bit of golf. I didn't have any beer in the house, but I drank two days worth the night before, so it all evens out (what?)
anyway, I'm going to venture out today and see how far I can get towards getting my hair cut and grabbing some groceries. wish me luck!
