How to get aerobic exercise during repeated snowstorms:
Week 1:
1. Dutifully roll the trash cart down the driveway to the curb .... last Mon night.
2. Cue snowfall & ice
3. City of Durham refuses to send out trash trucks on icy roads on Tues
4. City of Durham instructs residents to leave cart at curb ... for pick-up whenever roads are deemed safe.
5. Lug trash bag down driveway nightly [Stella cat is really a dawg - she investigates the contents of all trash cans nightly]
6. Cue more snow
7. Clear path down driveway to cart at curb for nightly visits
8. No sign of trash trucks - bags spilling out of neighbors' carts onto road
9. Cue more snow
10. Continue clearing path down driveway to cart at curb.
11. Glare at Stella ...
Week 2:
Repeat steps 2-11 ... still no sign of trash truck
12. Cue more snow Wed night
13. Consider enclosing Stella inside trash bag nightly
If the snow continues, the neighborhood will be engulfed underneath a blizzard of trash bags.
N.B.
The recycling trucks had no problems emptying the recycle carts the day after the first snow .....
Hmmmm ....
