A couple of weeks ago we were “Snowed In Again “
This time we know why. I can totally sympathize with the folks back east a few weeks back when they didn’t get their roads plowed. They paid their taxes, made it a priority, or at least pretended to so that their homes wouldn’t get taken by the government. They paid their taxes faithfully and didn’t get their roads plowed. Stuck. Money is tight, I got that.
Well, we just discovered why our little community of about 100 homes has been neglected year after year by the county roads dept when it comes to plowing the snow. My husband hunted down the plow driver as he went past our community of about 150 full time residents and on to the next one up the road of about 50 full timers but whose homes are about 1000 sq feet larger than those in our 100 year old neighborhood. He honked at him and stopped him and asked what the deal was. The deal IS we are “low priority”. That’s actually what he said. I wonder what it takes to become higher priority? At least 4 TV stations have their broadcast towers in our community and without those being accessible for repairs a whole city of a half a million could be shut down from watching Survivor, the Biggest Looser, Hell’s Kitchen and all those “fine shows”. Riots could ensue if people in the city were denied their “right” to be a couch potato. Trees drop like flies around here when it snows. It wouldn’t take much to reduce those towers to scrap metal. I guess we might rank a little higher on their list for plowing if that happened. Till then I guess we have to pray no one has a heart attack. The ambulance couldn’t get in.
