<VV> Thievery Re: WINNER WEATHER... (in the Metroplex)

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

Pity you can't move to Grand Junction; they don't usually have snow  
standing on the ground for more than two or three days---and it's powder  snow.  
Or better yet, try the outskirts of Denver where I swept six inches  of new 
snow off my sidewalks with a broom and didn't strain my body a bit.

This is  a different kind of thievery than I anticipated. Recently we had a 
large  dumping of snow in SW Colorado, around 3 feet in 3 days. At the same 
time my  snow plow truck trans quit working. I called a couple of people 
that advertise  snow removal. My parking lot is not very big, it's about 1/2 
an acre. I  advised them all I can usually clean it myself with my plow truck 
in about  20-30 minutes. The conversation went something like "About 30 
minutes? I could  do it for $200". I was floored. I was hoping for about 50 or 
60 bucks. I guess  it's the American way. Oh by the way, thank God for good 
neighbors. Now I owe  1 of my neighbors who came over here a couple of times 
and spent about 30  minuts each time.
