So...it snowed here yesterday. I shovelled the walk and stairs several times (though the stairs were completely clear in the morning due to the wind tunnel effect of the buildings around us). Anyway...I’m standing on the walk talking to our downstairs neighbor, who’s just about done clearing her walkway, when two guys walk up and ask us to pay them to clear our walks. I look at our neighbor, she looks around, and we both laugh hysterically since pretty much everything is cleared. I suggested they go next door to the apartment building where there was four-five foot drifts. They walked away instead.

echo

This will make sense to perhaps one person who reads this site. I rejoined echo, a NYC area BBS/community board (I’d briefly been a member in 1997). I’ve gotten down most of the commands and zip through the discussions pretty quickly. Unfortunately my mind keeps slipping and I forget that I’m not using FORAVIEW on POKVMCR1 and type things like reacc and nq people (reacc relinks all minidisks on VM/CMS and nq people was a way of seeing who was online on the old IBM RSCS network, for echoids it’s yo).
