Wow, people putting stuff in the road to hold a parking spot while they were out would drive me batshit.

But I shovelled out the!*&$*@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spot! It took two hours! It is right in front of my house/apartment! Go shovel your own !*&$*@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spot.

See? Bitter.

according to the paper, there was a twister in LA last night [link] sounds like end times to me

Pish. Actually, the Los Angeles area gets tornadoes pretty regularly. Sort of. Maybe one or two a year. Usually just waterspouts instead of actual tornadoes. And always F-zeros. Barely enough to uproot a tree. Cyclical winds of about 60-80 mph.

If we ever get anything higher than an F-1, *then* the End Times are upon us.

This. If you have to shovel out the spot everytime you leave AND return, you know damn well there's some schmuck out there who hasn't shoveled shit. And they MUST PAY.

I think the only time my father has come close to a fistfight in the last 30 years was over a parking space.

It's so nice that you're getting things done.

Of course, as soon as I said anything, work fell into my inbox. Curses!

Deprived of sleep and porn? Have you no magic in your heart?

So if I set up a shrine to the coffee gods and pray there several times daily, does that mean I'm no longer an agnostic?

Exactly. And since I live in a complex, I mostly know which car belongs to which person. I KNOW WHERE THEY LIVE. They should be very glad I'm as nice as I am.

Ahem. Yes, I'm slightly insane on this topic and I haven't even had to shovel yet this year.

Yeah, I'd be leaving notes on windshields and piles of crap on doorsteps, personally.

Snow reminds me yet again why I'm glad to be a renter with no car. I don't have to shovel anything!

Poking my head (yeah, I skipped again. Only a few dozens posts this time, but still), to post before I have to run off for the weekend.

First, according to the Buffista Calendar, Saturday, the 1st of January, will be Susan W's birthday, so lots of early wishes for her, for a great day and a wonderful year.

Also, for all of you who note the ending of a calendar year and the beginning of a new one on Saturday - lots of "let a year and its cursings end, let a year and its blessing begin" (badly translated Hebrew wish, said before the Jewish new-year holiday).

And, um, you know, good rest-of-the-day, rest-of-the-week, rest-of-whatever-it-is-that-will-end-soon. And a lovely weekend.

Welcome to the One True Faith, Lee. We're gaining converts daily. (And often, middle-of-the-nightly.)

After the big snow (4 ft, I think) I made a big sign that said "Didn't shovel it? Can't have it." If I can't stand there menacingly with a snow shovel, I'll try shame. Yes, obnoxious. But then, I also was the one who called to have au untagged car towed from my neighbor's handicapped space that we'd shovelled out for her. So maybe it balances out.
