Out my window

Out my window, the Chugach Mountains are silhouetted by the rising dawn. It would be impressive if it wasn't a daily occurrence.
 
What I'm thinking about now is snow shoveling.

'Round here there is a law or ordinance or some such that says you have to shovel the sidewalk within 48 hours of the end of the snow fall. Every time a storm is brewing, the tv and social media is flooded with the reminder.

Savageville has no sidewalks, otherwise I'd like to not shovel my walk (which is no big stretch for me as I haven't shoved anything in years (snow, I figure, will go away if you ignore it)) to challenge the man. How can the government make me shovel the sidewalk? That's city property, not Savage property.

Lacking a sidewalk, I don't really have a dog in the fight. It's just one of the things in life that annoys me.

What happens if you are on vacay for more than two days, do you have to have someone on hand in case it snows?

Yesterday was the first day of the season that I noticed "hey it's kinda light out this morn!"
 
Why do they block the road?

What annoys me is that I have to stop, so someone else can go. What's the legal authority for blocking traffic on a state road so that people can exit a private establishment? If they have some permit or something, fine... otherwise they are just dicks standing in the middle of the road and I shouldn't have to stop.



They like to protest shit

That would piss me off too...honk and drive right thru em, just don't hit any cause God really ain't gonna save em.

lastly...we have sidewalk plows and blowers...taxes takes care of it...what pisses me off is people walking down the road when we spend all that money for sidewalks, winter and summer...also, bike lanes...Grrrrr

I dunno. Presumably they would mail a ticket to the property owner.

A few years ago I got a ticket for having a big-assed fire in my back yard. It seems that there is a county ordinance that limits fires to 3 feet in any direction. I had the fire pit roaring like the depths of Hell and the Fire Marshall stopped by, put out my fire with a CO2 can, and wrote me a ticket.

I guess that's not relevant to shoveling snow though.
 
If these "water company" employees have earpieces, bulky vests and just happen to be carrying lengths up pipes about the right size to hold a long gun, you may want to stay away from the windows.
