Glad Tidings?

Dear neighbor who drives the Mazda with Ohio plates,

You are very lucky that I had an ounce of holiday cheer left this afternoon when I finally muscled through crowds and largely unpaved roads to find your car parked in one of the spots I laboriously cleared Sunday afternoon. Thanks to your indifference and greed, I spent the next hour perilously parked and shoveling a third parking spot like a madwoman, chipping at ice until Ben got home to take over for me. Two (freaking) feet of snow fell over the weekend; I had already shoveled out one driveway, one cul-de-sac, and two solid parking spaces. I think that's plenty, and assume you have a damn good reason for ungraciously stealing my spot. May you be gifted with the task of shoveling out the rest of Avemore this holiday week.


Signed,

Your buff, sore, and miffed neighbor
