have had a chance to go through emails and need to vent a minute. (by the
way, I'm wearing my Highway District hat right now, not my City Council hat) . .

class=000301815-30012008>Normally, I'm pretty meticulous when it comes to
cleaning my driveway. I'm "lucky", I guess, that I don't have sidewalk in
front of my house (yet) that I'd have to keep clean, not that it'd be that
difficult. This winter, however, work has taken me away from my shovelling
duties and my driveway has a snow floor for the first time since I moved
in. I hate it. This prompts me to help people to understand the
plight of those who have to answer the call and go do the snow removal
thing. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#800000><SPAN
class=000301815-30012008>Normally, when plowing is necessary, those who do the
snow removal aren't aware of the need until they are rousted out of their
peaceful slumber with the "GO" call. Of course, they could take the time
to clear their driveway and sidewalk before they head in to work, but that
creates the other issue of phone call complaints about the streets not getting
cleared quickly enough. There's no "Get up early and shovel your walk" for
these people. It's a no-win situation. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#800000><SPAN
class=000301815-30012008>Now, I realize that not all of the complaints about
clearing sidewalks relate to homeowners, but I'm sure there are a few. I'm
stubborn enough that I'm not going to call PCEI to come do mine (luckily, the
boy has been out of school the last couple days and has been helping out the old
man, so I can't complain too much -- at least he's trying).

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#800000><SPAN class=000301815-30012008>I
guess my only message here is that people be a little understanding in
some cases. Sure there are some jackadonkeys out there that are just lazy
and not getting with it, but there are others we don't need to be harping on
when they might be doing the best they can with the time they have.

possible!"</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
