The generosity of people with snow plows
I spent Saturday morning digging out the rest of the driveway. It took longer than I had thought it would. More snow, it was heavier, and I'm more out of shape than I thought. Actual shoveling time ? Approximately 2 hours broken up in 30 minute chunks with 20 minute breaks in between. I'm still sore a day later...
Anyway... I was getting to the end of my driveway, the hardest part. Where it gets packed down by the snow plows thick enough to build a house out of. I had just taken a break and had just started tackling this last bit when a miracle occurred. For the second time since I've lived in that house one of the local people who spend their winters plowing driveways for others saw me and offered to take care of that last bit. In 4 minutes he completely cleared away the snow in front of my driveway.... saving me at least an hour of work.....
I'm not sure how you thank someone for something like that. It might not seem like such a big deal... But it does restore faith in humanity.
