The piece of county road I have to use after my roads ends is in terrible shape. Yeah. I know these guys are overworked and underpaid. They snowplow our road with a 6x6 articulated grader. A ~ 12 foot blade on the front, and also a wing blade on the side and the standard blade on a grader. Our road is basically dirt, and whatever the Rocky Mountains throw at it. BUT. It’s a dedicated county road. I will plow the road a few times a year because they are so busy. Personal plow trucks are good, and can do it, but it beats the hell out of my truck. One time the county turned a grader around in my driveway messing up my retaining wall (backed into it). 😒 They are not supposed to do that. I did not complain. I did not see the damage until the spring. And I’m not a lawsuit type of person. Ya just deal with it. I’m putting up a retaining wall of 3 foot boulders. They will notice that. 😈 Life at altitude and snow, is wonderful, but can be incredibly difficult. I chose to live here. So I deal. > [@Ulfreida](#): > > that’s not a microaggression, that’s just willful optimism. Yeah, I’ll take that. Good way to put it. Often turns into a Wait, what? moment though. Before I could get a ‘wait a minute’ in there, the meeting has moved on. The assumption that anyone is gonna take notes is bad, bad, bad. As is, ‘Hey, this should be easy’.
