Snow also BLOWS, Bobert, if you catch my drift.

Some kids came up to my townshack, approachable since I shoveled a trail last night and cleared outside the out swinging front screen door to make sure it could open, and asked for $20 to shovel me out. I pointed out which one was my car, and they looked incredulously, like "What? You want us to do the car too?" I sent the three of them on their way. I told them to work my side of the street, as the winds blew drifts up to the front doors that have no overhang and that some who didn't do preventive naintenence and could not get their front doors open would probably gladly pay. I'll go out myself, burns or no burns and do the townhouse steps after breakfast. Then I'll hibernate here in Hiber-space.

When I was a kid, we were lucky if we could get $20 for a whole suburban house walkway, driveway and car. I just have steps.There's no biz like Snow Biz!
