13. "Cavalier attitude towards snow removal"!! Picky, picky, picky.... they usually plow Cerrillos...

...within, oh, three days or so of any snowfall worth the name. Ain't that good enough for anyone?

LOL...

I am remembering the second winter after we moved here. I was born and raised in St. Paul, MN, where snow management is an art and a science.

The first winter after we moved here there WAS no snow, so it wasn't until the next year that I got to experience Santa Fe "snow removal" in all its, um... well... idiosyncrasy?

We had a four- or five-inch fall, and I got up the next morning and carefully shoveled walk and driveway, and even a short way into the street. Back in Minnesota, this would have been a Smart Tactic as it would have minimized the amount of snow the plow would push back across the driveway mouth. I stood back, panting a little and beaming with pride at my job well done, and a neighbor came out to shovel their walk.

I mentioned how pleased I was to be ready for the plow and he looked blank. "Plow?"

Well, there are other compensations for being here.

amusedly,
Bright
