Thank you Windsinger.   Life is too short, and I did not intend to be rude or antagonistic. I do respect your opinion and I am sure that you have experiences that formed them. I guess my tounge was planted too firmly in my cheek.   I still blame it on the snow.

Glad to hear the plow made it to your street.   My town feels that running the plow once down the street and then putting thousands of pounds of salt down does the trick. My car is now a peculiar shade of gray.
