Who can you trust?!

Yesterday we got about 8 inches of really fine, wet snow which was very heavy to shovel. Despite not feeling very well yesterday I dutifully shoveled a one shovel wide path on the sidewalk in front of our house. Then I got up this morning to shovel out the cars so Su could get to work. The snow was very fine and densely packed — about the consistency and compaction of white sugar in a bag. Each shovel full must have been at least 20 pounds.

Since we don’t get much company during the day I put off shoveling the front door and step until I was a bit less sore. I just got back inside from shoveling where I discovered the church next door had used their mini front-end loader to clear their sidewalk. They started at one end of their property, cleared their sidewalk, and left a 3 foot high pile of compacted snow and ice on my sidewalk that I had cleared up to their property the night before (where I DIDN’T leave a pile). I’m a bit cranky having had to reclear my sidewalk because the neighbors were inconsiderate.

Inconsiderate is just one of the many adjectives you could have chosen…nice restraint!

Perhaps you should let the church know that you’re an excellent church treasurer and you prefer shuffling papers to shoveling and re-shoveling snow!
