Asshole

The snowbank at the end of the driveway was close to three feet high.  I shoveled it.  Cleared it all.  All gone.  There was still snow on the road though.  I knew I was going to have to redo some of it.  Just as my step son and I were finishing the last few shovels full of snow on the driveway itself, the plow came back and dumped a ton of snow on us.  Jerk.  We immediately started shoveling.  We got about a quarter of the way through it when the same plow decided to start the road all over again.  About 15 minutes later he dumped another couple of feet on our driveway.  I honestly think he was just dicking with us.  I think he did it to be an asshole.  The road was done.  It was clearer than it had been for the whole nearly two weeks after the Christmas snow.  Nope, he had to take down the snowbanks and screw up the entire road again, and my driveway.  What an asshole.

Hopefully I am dead wrong about all of this and I’m just royally pissed off… but I am so pissed off.

 

Green White and Blues

Last week I ordered a new fuzz pedal for my stay at home pedal board. It’s a clone of a green Russian Big Muff. It is scheduled to be delivered by our friends at the United Parcel Service later today.

Today most of the Northeastern United States, including my beloved Massachusetts, is getting spanked by a blizzard. White-out conditions are expected.

My delivery is going to be delayed a day, isn’t it. Obviously I don’t want UPS drivers risking their lives on my account… but if I don’t get my fuzz pedal I might find myself feeling the no-new-fuzz-pedal blues.

2nd Winter in a Row

It’s official.  For the second winter in a row I’ve gone outside into the back yard and noticed that the hose was running.  The faucet was just barely on, but it was on.  There was a small spot on the grass that was snow-free, and we’ve been getting small amounts of water in the cellar right below the faucet.

What are the chances that it was squirrels trying to get a drink?  Man, those squirrels are such assholes!
