I want to kill my local snowplow drivers

[Beer Snob-50]

driving down my local 2 lane highway this am, and what to my wondering eyes do observe, but two plow drivers driving almost side by side, reducing travel to a f**king crawl.

1. It certainly doesn't make it fun for driving

But I think it's more effective for plowing, as they move all the snow all the way to the edge in one go, instead of moving half of it and then having people smear it all around again and then plowing the other half...

2. Did I mention that our trees are beginning to bloom

Spring is in the air...

3. MAY A COLD FRONT SWOOP DOWN FROM THE YUKON

and a storm system come off the pacific and you get 15 inches of snow tomorrow!!!

you know i love you!! lol

[yvr girl]

6. The last time we had 15 inches of snow was

9 or 10 years ago. The city grinds to a halt - it's not pretty. I don't think we have any plows - just a few city guys with shovels.

I know you love me, that's why I torment you so.

[Beer Snob-50]

8. I think a few city guys with shovels cleaning the roads

would back up traffic even more!!

[yvr girl]

9. There's no driving

All the local news crews are out with "Storm Watch 200X" It's almost akin to CNN's coverage of the hurricanes last fall. It's actually quite amusing.

10. i think i will move to vancover

big problem though, can i get an exemption from using the metric system?

[yvr girl]

11. Absolutely not

You need to know both systems here. You're an accountant for goodness sake - you should be able to handle a system based on 10's.

[Beer Snob-50]

12. sorry!

the american system is the best system, posting here you should know that!!!!

btw, does this mean that playboy, canada gives the girls measurements in metric?

[yvr girl]

13. We get our own version of Time

but I couldn't speak to Playboy, not a reader of that publication. I did say that you would need to know both systems though.

4. Then stay off the roads ...

Imagine if they were not out there. The alternative to your complaint would be much worse.

I salute every plow driver that goes by and fills in my freshly shoveled driveway.

Cheers

5. I'd like to blow up the ice cream truck

It comes through every day, rain or shine, playing Home On The Range.

:nuke:

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Sometimes they have to do that if they can move snow only to one side

The front truck pushes the snow into the path of the second truck, which then moves all the snow off the side of the road.

14. Keep telling yourself than spring is just around the corner

Michigan - God's Country

Aug 12 - Moved to Michigan. It is so beautiful here. The hills are so serene and beautiful. Can hardly wait to see snow cover them. God's country...I love it here.

Oct 14 - Michigan is the most beautiful place. The leaves are turning all different colors, I love the shades of red and orange. I went for a ride through the beautiful country side and spotted some deer, they are so graceful certainly they are the most peaceful animals on earth. This must be paradise Michigan, I love it here.

Nov 11 - Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such an elegant creature. The very symbol of peace and tranquillity. Hope it will snow soon...I love it here.

Dec 2 - It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed in white, it looks like a post card. We went outside and cleaned the snow off of the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight, (I won) and when the snowplow came by, we had to shovel the driveway out again. What a beautiful place. Mother nature in perfect harmony... I love Michigan.

Dec 12 - More snow last night. I love it. The snowplow did his trick again (that rascal). Winter wonderland... I love it here.

Dec 19 - More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work this time. I'm exhausted from shoveling. F@#$%^& snowplow...

Dec 22 - More of the white s@#$ fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from all this d@#% shoveling. I think the snow plow man hides around the corner and waits till I'm done shoveling my driveway...a_ _ hole!

Dec 25 - "White Christmas" my busted a@#! More friggin snow. If I ever get my hands on that son-of-a-b@#$% who drives that snow plow, I swear I'll castrate that dumb bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt this f@#$%^ ice.

Dec 28 - More white s@#$ fell last night. Been inside since Christmas Day, except for shoveling out the driveway after "Snow Plow Harry" comes by, prick...g_ _-d_ _ _ car is behind a ton of snow. The weatherman said to expect another 10 inches of s@#$ tonight. Do you know how many shovels of snow 10 inches is?

Jan 1 - Happy F@#$%^$ New Year. The weatherman was wrong (again.) We didn't get 10" last night, we got 34", stupid a_ _ weatherman anyway. At this rate it won't melt before the 4th of July. The snow plow got stuck up the road and the s@#$head had the balls to come to the door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him I've broken 6 shovels already, shoveling all the sh@# he pushed into my driveway, I broke the last one over his f@#$%$ head.

Jan 4 - Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food, on the way back a g@#d@#$ deer ran in front of me. I hit the bastard and tore my car all to hell. Did $3,000 in damages. Those f@#$%^$ beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed all of them last November.

May 3 - Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing rotted out from all the f@#$%^$ salt they keep dumping all over the road. Car looks like a piece of s@#$.

May 10 - Moved back to Virginia, I can't imagine why anyone in their right f@#$%^$ mind would ever want to live in this g@#-forsaken place called Michigan.

15. LOL!!!

oh so true. i have lived in new england my entire life and don't know why i don't just pack up and leave for some place nice.

[DontBlameMe]

20. September 15th...

Oh, my God!!! 130 mph winds! Cities destroyed! Millions of dollars destroyed.

May 10th - Finally got the roof replaced. Jesus, what takes the insurance companies so long to settle a claim!

September 20th - Oh, my God!!! 125 mph winds!


Oh, yeah. That's soooooooo much better.

[intrepid_wanderer]

16. shovel your own damned snow then!

complaining about not having to do it yourself.

Perspective, DAMMIT! :bounce:

[Beer Snob-50]

17. i do shovel my own damn snow.

i have perspective dang it!

[intrepid_wanderer]

18. just not the snow on the road...

I mean.. that's only YOUR ROAD when you need it, otherwise, it doesn't really matter?


I'm just hoping that you might feign some respect (if not actually have it) for the services we enjoy around here (Boston area).

[Beer Snob-50]

21. i just want them to stagger themselves a little

so those of us going to work, can get there in some sembalance of on time.

[intrepid_wanderer]

22. this is becoming tedious!

jeeez... plan ahead.. perhaps even as though the plows weren't gonna plow at all thanks to all the 'appreciation.'

ugh



(... but I just want everything to be perfectly convenient for me... ughhhhh)

[bleedingheart]

19. time to count your blessings....

you could be home sick like me...with a nose running like a river...
