Boring repeat-January 7, 2015

We're either simple minded or bored out of our minds or perhaps we are OCD, but we stood for a very long time and watched 3 snow plow trucks as they tried to finish cleaning the high school parking lot across the street. You could tell they were having way too much fun. It certainly entertained us, too.

This driver who was the fastest of the three did not anticipate how

very deep the snow was. He hit it like a brick wall before he slid sideways

and then was stuck. I guess it helps to get out and look at the snow.

 

Second driver says "No problem. I'll push you out". The second

truck was unable to help. So driver number 3 came in and both put chains

on the first truck. They pulled him out. No doubt there was a discussion

on how to plow more effectively. Or they were laughing their heads off.

 

They all worked together and we could almost hear them making

noises like they were riding a bull in competition. We could imagine

they were waving their hats waving in the air!

 

Maybe it's more fun for us because we are not out in it. We did get out for about 20 minutes this afternoon but came back quickly. We are finally supposed to get a break in the bitter cold tomorrow. I'm really starting to feel sorry for the people who have to work outdoors in this cold. I have noticed that the construction going on in this complex has stopped. You can't pour cement in this and you can't dig foundations in frozen ground so they have to stop. I guess if you work outdoors, you have extremely warm clothing and you know how to stay warm. We have not made that adjustment yet. I still don't have snow boots! I have not had time and if there's that much snow I will just stay home until I find time to go shopping. That's one of the perks of being retired.
