Put me in coach, I’m ready to plow
I can only imagine that by now, the Westminster street
department or the Carroll County roads department wants me to lend a hand with
keeping the roads clear of snow.
So I am warming-up this handy piece of equipment that I
borrowed from the Georgia Department of Transportation, to get ready to go help
– as soon as I am called into service…
When I was younger I hated plowing snow. It was monotonous
and really-really hard. Not to be overlooked is that I hate being cold.
Of course today the men and women plowing snow have much
better equipment. Much of the plow-controls resembles a joy-stick used for
video games. But it is still hard work, under difficult circumstances – made worse
by idiot drivers making a bad situation much worse.
Back in the day, right after the internal combustion engine
was invented; I had levers and pedals and lots of manual controls. And when I
needed to change the direction of the plow – or raise the plow; I really did
for real need to get out of the truck and pull frozen ice-covered pins and
manually adjust the plow and re-install the pins.
Let’s not overlook hitting a bump in the road with the old
plows – it would jar your teeth out of place.
Anyway, be safe out there and say a prayer for our emergency
responders, police, firefighters, EMS personnel and the various local
municipal, county, and state, street and roads departments that are out there
in this mess trying to keep the roads open and safe.
