DC snow day 2!

 Whew! I've been out shovelling for a couple of hours, and I'm pooped! Kev the downstairs neighbour and I dug out the driveway, so the two people who live in the basement apartment on that side can get out. Then we dug out our two cars and the car of the other folks on the first floor (they had started the shovelling yesterday, so Kevin felt we owed them). The other second floor people had cleared out their car earlier from across the street (where luckily it hadn't been hit by a plow) and then dug out a place for it on the house side. And the other basement folks, being Coloradans, had not only dug out but were off somewhere getting groceries and so on. :-) They had also done the walks another time this mornign, so everybody has been pitching in. :-)

I'm trying to decide between a hot bath and just flopping on the couch and watching more MSCL. Of course, I could always have the hot bath and *then* flop on the couch. :-)

in which Jan is ticked off

So Kevin and I spent the morning digging out our cars and our housemates' car and the rest of our street frontage (I with the mind that the Globetrotter would be able to park if she came over).

Well, the housemates and K have both gone out, and some people (no idea who they are, but they don't live in our house and I'm pretty sure they're not visiting) have come and parked in the place that we cleared out, taking up all three spaces with a sedan and a minivan that still has the roof covered with snow (one of my pet hates in winter, because it invariably freezes and then flies off on the highway, often shattering on someone elses' windscreen).

So not only is there nowhere for my friend to park when she comes over, but there is nowhere for two RESIDENTS of the hosue to park IN FRONT OF OUR OWN HOUSE. I went across the street and dug out a space on the streambank shoulder, but what do you want to bet someone else will park there?

This is so RUDE and PRESUMPTUOUS! >:-(
