yup, ultimately we shovel our walks and our neighbours as well if we can. But doesn't everyone? There is often an excess of kindness being tweeted out to anyone in distress -- sincerely, with offers to help.

Can't speak for the rest of the world, but we shovel our neighbor's walks in the midwest! Dad used to drive a big fuck-off truck, and we'd drive around town during blizzards to pull people's cars out of drifts. Haven't done it since that rust-bucket bit the bullet, though. We've finally acknowledged that 'Nebraska Nice' doesn't bring in tourists, but it's still a way of life :)

I love that you'd drive around pulling people's cars out of drifts.

My retirement plan used to include buying a bobcat snow pusher and clearing people's sidewalks all over the neighbourhood. Now, I'm not so sure.
