Thus, no help for it, I manhandled the walker through and over the snow drifts, snow plow berms, and simple 'can't be arsed to touch the stuff' packed snow to Fiesta to stock up for the next week. And forgot to get the ibuprofen I'm running low on, of course. Am not supposed to take ibuprofen anyway but there's times I really need it. Like when I'm chopping next door's snow bank to clear a path up the street. Why does my back hate me so much?
The Baptists for a wonder had shovelled their half of the block and a snowplow had done Christie, so half the walk was doable if I folded the walker. The alleyway was of course impassable and the lower half of my block very intermittent. In the event, half the time I walked in the street. Drivers hate people doing this, of course, especially when there isn't room to step out of their way. I mean I did, but they didn't believe they had room to pass me. Well, if you will drive big ass SUVs, guy, you will find things a touch narrow.
Luckily Prof Islamic Studies and Mrs have rented a car which they parked on the street and carefully cleaned off this morning. Not sure where they put the snow, but it left the level low enough that I could get the walker over it, or through it, even with my groceries in the basket. And now to hole up and hope for no outages.
