I was the only car in the small, tight lot at work. Around 3 in the afternoon, the plow guy came. I think he was angry that I was there and he immediately plowed me in so I couldn't get out. I come out the back door to move the car. Suddenly he's my friend and pulls most of the snow pile back so I can move.

He probably realized that you saw him and didn't want to get in trouble with a lawyer :P

jokes aside, that was nice of him.

I'm guessing they trailer the cars in this time of year. Love the color!

The National Weather Service reported 26.5 inches had fallen at the Greater Rochester International Airport

I was able to repair the cable and get the driveway finished. Will have to go back and clear some drifting today.

When they put me in a box, it's gotta have wheels on it - M. Andretti

Here is a nice segment from 60 Minutes on Mario Andretti. To me, he represents the promise and the great things one can achieve only in America regardless of where you are from
