Default So Where Are All These Unemployed People?

25" of snow Saturday. The farmer who has been handling snow removal
here for the past 33 years didn't even attempt it. Driveway is 660
and steep but he has tackled this much snow before. Called others
from the Yellow Pages, no dice. Another foot of snow expected
Tues.-Wed. Death by starvation. Never thought I'd go out this way.



It's not about finding a job (anyone with two college degrees can find
a minimum-paying job), it's about survival. Folks here are more
concened about their drugs (they think they need) or milk supply than
an icy-snowy driveway.
