Using Craigslist

Last night I found a few ads on Craigslist for guys doing snow removal. Kitti and I looked them over and picked one we judged to be the best of the bunch (you know, as much as you can judge based on a five-line Craigslist ad) and Kitti called and hired two dudes with a truck (snowblower, front-loader, etc) to help get Mim’s car un-stuck. Because there’s no way to do it without heavy equipment. Especially not when you’re a little old lady, like Mim is, and there just isn’t any place to put the snow if you could move it.

Granted, it’s worse now because it’s melted and re-frozen a few times, but even when it was new there wasn’t any place to put it — most of the snow blocking Mim’s car in is from the snowplow clearing the street in the first place.

Anyhow, Kitti is at Mim’s right now, waiting for the guys to show up. I really hope they can get there today, since he’s got to go back to work tomorrow. I really hope they can get her car dug out. I don’t think Mim will mind me saying that she’s starting to go a little whimsical in the brainpan what with being stuck indoors for so long.
