Am I close, Noa? Please divulge (Will I get a pbc for that?)...This is in no way intended to offend any Bostoners, but when I lived there I found them to be...um, unpredictable. And rather harsh at times. I can say this because I'm from NY and New Yorkers are famous for their rude behavior. Everybody has something. But I'm not trying to start anything!
> I remember in a big storm in the mid 90's,
Yeah I hate to bring up Boston again- no I don't. But on our narrow little street where people grew to consider the part of the street outside their houses THEIRS, they would shovel and then put chairs in that space so no one could benefit from their work! How's that for selfish! I've never experienced this phenomenon since.>Then he just ignored me.
Oy.
We live in the 2nd story of an old house. The owner has an office on the 1st floor. So we're fortunate enough to have the plowing and shoveling done. Of course we still get plowed in, but it's still cool. As I write, at 1:30 a.m. yeahyeah, I know...) the dudes are down there in the lot snow blowing and plowing! What?? My husband's boss pays then $50 for each visit they make so I don't really feel sorry for them anymore. I'd do it for that money! Before I had that info I'd considered cocoa offering.To sleep- per chance to get up again coughing and moaning.
