Default So Where Are All These Unemployed People?

Well, 24" had just fallen and now we're getting nailed with another
20" on top of it.

PRIMARY PLAN: Assume that the farmer who has been reliable for so many
years would continue to be.


He got old too. Even if he was in his 20's when you moved in, he's in
his 50's now, and farming is hard on the body. I know my Dad wouldn't
even consider scooping 24" of snow out of 600+ feet of driveway 10
years ago, let alone now. 20 years ago he'd think twice. 30 years ago,
no problem.

You can't push that kind of snow. It has to be blown or scooped up and
dumped to the side.

SECONDARY PLAN: Call other snow removal people listed in phone book.


In the middle of the f*cking snow storm of the century when they've
already got twice as much work as they can handle. Good plan.

TERTIARY PLAN: *If I'd've know that #1 and #2 wouldn't work, I'd've
put the vehicle at the bottom of the driveway, shop for small amts. of
food every day, and carry it up the hill. *We did this in the past.


You've got two choices now: Wait until it's too late and die, or call
the county sheriff's non-emergency number before it becomes an
emergency.
