It’s nice to think about the snow being delicate and maybe even pretty when right now it’s drifting over our front door.

The Snow Guy
So this is how our conversation with our local snow removal guy went the other day:
Us: “Yeah – we do need it. How much will you charge?”
Him: “How much did I charge you last time?”
Us: “I think it was $25”
Him: looking around… “It’s a lot of snow”
Us: “So um.. $30?”
Him: “That’s ok, I’ll do it for $20”
Us: “um..”
So we leave him to his shoveling and he’s out there for an hour, all by hand, and there’s a boatload of snow, and we feel bad, so we write him a check for $40
Us: handing him the check “Here you go – thanks so much”
Him: “You didn’t have to do that”
Us: “no no, thank you so much, you were out there a long time”
Him: “I’ll tell you what, next time it snows a lot I’ll come by and do it again for you no charge”
Us: “um”
So the next day we looked out and he’s there doing a second round and clearing the next 5-6 inches we got the night before. If I thought I could get him to take it, I’d offer him a few more bucks…
Thanks so much David. I don’t understand, but thanks.
