Oh The Irony!!!!


So the other day the mailman got stuck in the road trying to put mail in our mailbox and this morning a poor teenage girl got stuck in the road in front of our next door neighbor's house.  It took four of us to rock her car out of the rut she was in and send her on her way.  

I was thinking about calling the City of West Jordan to ask them when they were going to plow our streets.  Not that I need it for myself because I can kick my vehicle into 4-wheel drive but I realized this morning that there are others in the neighborhood who can't do this (plus I also realized I have scrawny chicken arms and am not really useful at pushing other people's cars out of sticky predicaments).  

As I was about to call the city I heard this repetitive beeping sound coming from out front.  I looked out my window and saw this just past my mailbox...



I couldn't help myself.  I had to laugh as I saw the snowplow stuck in the snow.  The snowplow!  Of course my first instinct was to run for my camera.  But I'm not all bad.  After I took the picture and had my laugh, I put my coat on and took out two shovels and helped the driver dig out the back tires so he could get unstuck.  It worked and he was able to finish our street and hopefully finish the rest of our neighborhood.  I can only hope that no one else gets stuck so I won't have to embarrass myself trying to push their car out.  I really have no upper body strength... or lower for that matter. hahahahaha!!!!

You are so nice! We got stuck in our driveway last night but just for a couple of minutes. That is really funny!

I felt a LITTLE guilty about taking the picture and THEN helping him. But I just couldn't stop myself.
