Below are two photo's of our road from the last snow storm. The photo below looks like you could actually drive around the huge pile of snow on the left but in fact that level looking snow on the right covers a rather deep ditch. To try to drive around it would leave you stuck in the ditch for a very long time.
Our association installed a hot line to report these situations. It was not working so e-mails were sent advising that we have been hearing traffic on the main road for the past three days and our road is still not open. We were told they did our road. HUH!!!! okay, then how do you get past this 5' deep snow to get out. We kept reporting the mess and they kept saying our road had been done. Our reports kept getting stronger and stronger. Their reply, if we didn't like the way our road was done - move somewhere else.
Okay, that is an interesting approach. Everyone else in the community is plowed out and is free to come and go but we couldn't get a snow cat down our road - but it has been done? I have cancelled a dental appointment two times now. I have exhausted all my vast collection of crayons and coloring paper trying to demonstrate to our association what the problem is.
They finally finished cleaning up our road this morning but we didn't need to go out today. Well, tomorrow is another day but shoot, its suppose to snow again tonight. Anyone question why I love dogs more than most people? Grrrrrrr......

Bruce, you should tell the powers that be that you are having a party at your house with free beer and food. Everyone who pulls in your driveway with a car or truck will get a crisp $50 bill ;^)

Thanks Rob: That's why I have good friends like you cause I'd never had thought of that... Great idea, I'll let you know how it works out.
In my experience, there is no greater disappointment than a failed human being—using that term loosely---very loosely. It seems to me that everyone is so defensive these days that they err on the side of omission rather than commission. I have the same kind of neighbor right next door—I have always had the same kind of neighbor in that house—I am thoroughly convinced, honestly that the house has bad karma. The most frightening part is that the way of the world currently seems to be heading to Hell in a hand-basket at warp speed. I am learning to isolate myself in a crowd
--having fewer and fewer friends that I let get close.
I just bet you have photos and emails to support any action you might someday need to take.
PS I love my cats for the same reason that you love your dogs!!
Raylene: For me the greatest disappointment is that people consider you so stupid to not know they are lying to you. I have verified factually just that.
Those photo's in the blog were sent to those disappointing people. Facts have been documented.
Personally I tend to like Rob's suggestion above. Only I think I would hike to the end of the road and place several snow shovels there and along the way....
