Any charm that snow held for me is long gone.
I just finished shovelling my ~ 100 yard driveway for the 10th time since last Friday...oh & it's -3 degrees here wind chill.
Tuesday night can't get here fast enough for me now - when I'm off to Death Valley for a LONG weekend of camping where it's 70 degrees & sunny.
F*#* winter.

It's so cold...

Damn, I wish I could afford a place with a 100 yard driveway!

What are you?...retarded? :D
Since when does the access route to your domicile factor into the price?

If you were indeed the owner of a 100 yard driveway, it would be indicative of your owning more than the miniscule quarter acre lot that is typical here in DC.
One of the places I lived growing up had a driveway that was probably 200 yards. But we also owned 84 acres.

Why bother to shovel the driveway...fuck the mailman, all he does is bring me bills!
-
I basically have determined that I never would have survived a second in the cold and snow as the people did in the real life story depicted by the movie "Alive".
I too have shoveled umpteen times...in 50 mi winds the other day. When I went inside, my hands hurt so badly (and I wore gloves) I thought I was going to be sick.

All I'm worried about is the sweet little UPS lady that brings me occasional packages containing hard to find records. Priorities Man!

I've already eaten my roomates so I had to venture out.

A 100 yard driveway and house could fit into a lot 30 ft wide & 350 feet long. That equates to 1/4 acre.

those quarter acre lots in DC would probably go for close to a million if not higher, anyway, even if you could fit a 100 yard driveway

I owned the same size house and lot in Northern Bethesda (Rockville actually, but we could use the address because White Flint did) that I do now in Pittsburgh. Even the costs were equivalent. I thought I would save huge dollars per month, but my mortgage nearly doubled. It's a tax thing. Just another reason to question why I moved here.

It was either move, or cut your mullet off!

BTW, why were you shovelling your driveway? Don't they have Mexicans in Pittsburgh?

#1 - I can't afford them since I spend all my $$ paying for such an extravagant house ;)
#2 - They just opened a Baja Fresh nearby & the employees were the first Mexicans I've seen. I did try to lure a few of them away with an offer of a couple more cents per hour, but in the end it came down to benefits. Something I'm just not prepared to offer at this time. :p
-
there are no mexicans in pittsburgh.
you must live in shadyside or something to pay the same in the burgh as you did in bethesda. my rent is like double in bailey's crossroads from the ole south side rates. and i have a roommate here.

I've noticed that...how does Baja get away with only hiring hispanics? If it was a place selling white folk food and only hired whites there'd be lawsuits all over the place.

Good point. What was it that got Lenny's, I mean Denny's, in trouble?

I thought Denny's got in trouble for not waiting on black customers who came into their restaurants.

Yes they did. Around 1994-1995 I think. The NY Times maagazine ran an article called Discrimination, Sunny Side Up....

Aresenio used Denny's as the butt of his monologue jokes for about a month straight.
Gawd, how I miss the Arsenio Hall show.
-
Thanks for the clarification. As you can see in my previous post, I was asking what got them in trouble.
-
Mr. Balls, you can see Arsenio Hall on Star Search now. Clearly he's moving up in the world. He's also sporting dreadlocks, a bit more rugged than that fade he used to have.

My mum, Mrs. Balls, will be thrilled to hear the news regarding Mr. Hall. She always had a crush on him.
