JP- If you're lucky, one (or more) of your kids will want to become Vets! Thought those Mountain dogs loved snow. My Lab sure as hell does! Walter

Randall...I think I'll send that to Bloomberg.

"All will be plowed and back to normal in 24 hours, please don't drive and take Mass Transit if you have to get somewhere."

Okay lets see, I had 30" of snow on my dead end block, so me and a neighbor dug our way out to a secondary street...only to find those where impassable. Tuesday rolls around and still no plow so to get to work I walk a mile to a main bus stop and the bus that's supposed to run every 15 minutes is a "no show" after more then an hour....actually not one of several bus lines showed...not one bus in either direction...I was going to hike another mile to the train...but it wasn't running either from what I was told by people who came to teh bus stop after waiting at the train station...so back home I went. ( I should mention our 17 mile Island just spent 8 million dollars on 4 diesel locomotives in case they had problems with the electric trains, we have two tracks and the train just goes back and forth....4 New Locomotives as backups) By afternoon more neighbors started clearing paths to get out and I finally was able to get my truck to a main road and head to work....to which the street where my business is wasn't plowed...but every person tossed their snow into the middle of a one way street as cars are parked bumper to bumper from beginning to end. Walked up and cleared my driveway.

Today the one way street is plowed to the top of the block ...where they stopped...so we have a one lane street with 4-5' walls of snow on both sides that you have to back down after it's realized you can't go thru...

Yeah Randall, that goes out to our Mayor and his budget cuts. Wait till we don't pay taxs and see how fast they react...

Randall,

Been drinking beer for 2 days and still don't have enough material to duplicate your Pee version of the Mona Lisa in 30"s of snow. I'm still given her hell though.

Randall-

Randall

I hope the neighbors didn't see you. Cool though.

I've been reading the headlines of "pitiful emergency" response during and after the storm.

Guess what. People survived a 100 years ago with no emergency response, plows or any government help what so ever.

People get pissed when gov't doesn't do enough, and they get pissed when government charges high taxes to do more.

How the American spirit of adventure has gotten the Lorena Bobitt treatment.

I saw it during and after our hurricanes and sat backed and laughed at all the helpless and useless people.

Randall,
Somewhere my wife has a pic of me and the dog next to each other in the back yard pissing in the grass, A daily morning ritual.

Horrified at such barbaric behaviour I told her I just saved 3 gallons of drinking water for a flush and was bonding with the dog and the most important, because I can.

every time i go to the city i imagine what those people would do without electricity. wouldn't be pretty. but the whole city mentality is let someone else do the menial jobs.

we had no juice for 14 days after hurricane gloria....caren bailed after four days but i kinda enjoyed it. you figure it out.

Cripple America? Knock out the power grids. Fuel will no longer be the energy problem because you wouldn't be able to pump it. In 48 hours all the batteries will have run down on cell phones, laptops, etc. Then, let the games begin!

Walter: I might get some peace and quiet if that happens!!

randall · Post by **randall** » Dec 30th, '10, 12:31

my radio and flashlights are wind up...and i have 100 gallons of gas for the generator. should be ok for awhile. of course they will have to blow up the two bridges to keep out the hoards. people lived through the depression out here with NO outside help. bet the deer population would thin pretty fast.

David if they ever dig the airport out we might all come and stay at your house and use your boat.

19 inches of snow had to plow for 26 hours straight to keep the roads open...got em down to bare asphalt within one day...got a call from my States Attorney General...one disgruntled resident out of 300+ called and complained about my plowing...My response was...my roads are in better shape then most state and local roads....next storm Ive got a spare loader you can run...gotta love the Govt...who works for who?
JP... I had to snow blow a path for my Newfoundland to take a dump as well...go figure thought they were born in the snow...BH

Bob- You live in Massachusetts. The quality of your elected officials are only matched or exceeded by those in California and New York. They know how to complain, not compliment.
