This happened yesterday morning when I could have slept in.
My body, mind, and vision may be slipping, but
I have acute hearing. At 4:00 a.m. I heard a revving motor. A big, loud, trash
truck engine...on a Sunday? Perhaps a repo man hitching up to a neighbor's car
in the dark? I am too nosy to wonder. I must know! I went to the front door and
saw blinding headlights aimed right at me. I think, Oh no! Not again.
Then the driver gunned the engine and backed a
monster MODOT truck (Missouri Department of Transportation) out of our
driveway. It rained yesterday which removed most of last week's 12 inch snowfall on
streets, sidewalks and especially lawns. There's maybe a foot high snow bank by
the mail box, nothing at the curb or in the gutter. The snow is not hampering
mail delivery (after five days of no delivery). Our main street is clear.
The guy had his snow shovel down, plowing wet
pavement as he swept by a second time. What is he plowing? Maybe HE's plowed?
Maybe he's punch drunk from snow removal on the night shift. Maybe I'll go out
there and punch him if he flips a U turn in front of our house one more time.
After a drive yesterday, I now think he may have been plowing he contents back into the pot holes.

That is so bizarre! I wonder what he was trying to do. We have an abundance of potholes here, but I don't think a snowplow is going to help fill them.
You attract ALL the weird ones, Linda.
Maybe he had heard that a prankster was shoveling some s*it at your house, and he was going to haul it away?
That really is strange! Was going to say maybe too much plowing is better than not enough, but those potholes do beg to differ!
Oh gosh, Linda, and at that ungodly hour of the morning. The dork. Susan
I hope you flashed an LED light at him! I wouldn't try the robe-belt-strangle on this one.
4am??
Perhaps he was thinking "they're all asleep so they won't notice me".
It sounds like your tax dollars at work . . . a government worker being paid to perform an unnecessary task sounds like SOP. Sorry they had to pick 4:00 a.m. to do it!
