I'd add that it's even more important on how you make that journey; the style and sense of honor with which you live, is the real goal.c w swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735507642689652780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-20388309624809633302014-01-04T15:53:11.743-08:002014-01-04T15:53:11.743-08:00Good to be home.

The mayor o' Ferndale lived a couple o' doors up from me and our street was <i>always</i> plowed, and plowed very well, thank ya. That said, getting out on Woodward and then making my way up to the workplace in Troy was another kettle o' fish, altogether. Still and even, Deetroit was better than most cities I've lived in where snow removal was concerned... or the at least the 'burbs were.<br /><br />So.

We recognize that the snow-plowing and -removal efforts of your local highway departments leave much to be desired; here, we take it seriously & have equipment to match.<br /><br />Nevertheless, the most frequent comments hereabouts are along the lines of, "You know what we call thirty inches of snow? <i>Tuesday.</i>'"<br />That does trivialize the problems all y'all encounter, and we mean no disrespect. Still, we just get up and go to work in it. Rev.
