4. I can remember making tracks in the ice for a large section of road once.
Edited on Sun Jan-23-05 05:09 PM by Ladyhawk
There is a steep hill near where my mother lives. It's the only part of the entire road that is paved. It has to be or no one gets in or out. My mother's car would get stuck and I'd use a hoe and a shovel to make yet more tracks for the tire in the ice. She'd get to the top of that, then get stuck again. It's much harder work than being prez-nit. I'm wasn't in the best of health even then and had to give up. I couldn't clear a whole section of road by myself.

I'd much rather be prez-nit.

6. All I had to do was brush mine off
Heck, we barely got enough to shovel the sidewalk. Oh, and it was all light and fluffy, and it smelled nice.

10. I did it in shifts
Edited on Sun Jan-23-05 05:29 PM by rocknation
Brushed the snow off the car at 10, dug out the side at 1, dug out the front and back at 3, took an Advil at 4. Missed some of the football game, but the alternative was doing it now while the both sun and the temperature are on their way down. But it is hard work.

:headbang:

11. It is hard . . .
. . . and often futile if the snowplows are still going by.

I wrote a whole short story about my car-digging experience and even got it published:
