as i mentioned on another thread, my car is plowed in on 14th street. not the parade street, but one of the streets where there's no parking sunday. does anyone know what the story is with the parade? the cars trapped in blocks of ice?

    The parade assembles on 14th Street. I asked a longtime resident about it, and he said, "sometimes they tow, sometimes they don't."

    i went out there with my shovel, and i started. ten minutes in and i hadn't made a dent. i started getting really woozy and lightheaded and i thought i was going to a: faint, and b: barf. (let me take this time to remind you that i'm pretty hardy, and can generally lug around 50 lb. boxes of clay...)

    but, then this nice kid took pity on me and did my car as i stood there trying not to faint or barf. and he wouldn't let me give him any $$ or anything.

    That was nice of him..


    For some reason, I kept reading this and seeing "I kept thinking I was going to fart" (faint + barf = fart). #-o

    Shoveling the sidewalk this morning was the hardest snow shoveling I have ever undertaken, including the blizzards when we got 2 feet and more of snow. I had to take a break in the middle -- and I'm in pretty good shape. Then my neighbor loaned me an ice-chopping tool, which helped a lot -- but it was still hard work.

    I had this thought myself: the heavy snow on top combined with the stickum ice below made for hard work. I was wheezing last night and this afternoon -- and I grew up shovelling snow in Minnesota!

    I used to have an ice chopper too, when I lived in Queens, but it didn't make the move. I sure did have a long time to think about it, though.

    Shoot, I missed a brooklynpotter sighting!

    We do have a good, neighborly block here.

    i exist, though i would hate for anyone to recognize me as the wan and pallid woman slumped up against her car trying to talk herself out of barfing. it wasn't pretty.

    I had to dig my car out of Sixteenth Street today. All ice. 3/4 of the way through a nice Firefighter stopped to help me out. The whole thing sucked, but he was a good guy.

    It's a good neighborhood.

    The Parking Gods have truly blessed me by having ASS parking canceled today.

    That means I am free to stay where I am for another week, by which time the snow will hopefully be long gone.

    :D/

    They've taken away more than enough (like the time I received $550 in tickets from an over-zealous parking cop), so they were due to give me some love!

    Ah-hah! So you CAN buy love...

    I got lucky. After spending an hour chipping away at the ice around my tires I got towed out of the snow because the guy behind me need to have his car towed!
