Things I am pondering today

Tried to call in to work. Phones not working. City doesn't like to plow our dead end street. My finger is still half numb from 5pm trying to clear the car off before dark.

Got out of the driveway Monday night. Been stuck in the snow at the intersection at the end of our street since midnight. Roadside assistance can't find a tow truck. I tried a shovel and some sand and nothing but a warning light that tells me my transmission is fubar. Had to go to the bathroom so I walked back to the house. Left a phone number with the car. Somebody will need to go to work or school eventually. There is a day care across the street. Not my fault they can't plow our street. I have now missed two days of work and may need a new transmission/car. Cops, troopers, snow plow all drove right past me sitting there with my flashers on.
Can't leave the car running forever. Down to a quarter tank or so.

Neighbors had to help dig the car out and push it back to the house. That was at seven am.

Snow plow just left. Spun all the tires leaving AFTER plowing our neighborhood. Didn't put down any salt or sand.

My uncle died and I can't find a record of it online. Is it bad when you don't know people's real names? My other uncle's name was Elmer but everyone called him "Wop". AFAIK that's a slur from back in the day but I could be wrong. He had lung damage from pneumonia. He was married to mom's sister. Uncle Bill was her brother. They were the youngest of I think nine kids and had a different dad.

An ad on facebook links to a website that says you can buy clearance items from Advance Auto stores that are going out of business. It says carbs are $30 and engine cranes are $50. Seems a little too cheap when they could just ship the parts to other stores that aren't closing.

Seems corporate types "like" to write stuff off! Easier to sell it for scrap than to package it back up and ship it somewhere else.
