Not everyone who works for the post office is in the union (former postal employee here).Driving to get groceries and there was a Postal Service tractor-trailer that couldn't get grip uphill from a light. Intersection has a gas station so I bought 75lb of salt and we got him going. Union Strong! Cops were there pushing people through the intersection.
Came home and there was no getting up the uphill stub of a road I live on: maintenance goes home at 5pm, of course. Two women who live across the street offered to push me up but I declined because I didn't want them behind the car on that slope. Found a safe place to leave the car and dragged my groceries up, at which time the women had started to shovel out the street. It's 6 houses, we're the middle pair. Put my groceries away and grabbed a shovel. Then another neighbor came to help. Got the street up to our houses cleared. Was clearing out my driveway when the guy that lives with the women (bunch of Hispanics situation, idk any relations) got home from work. They started clearing in front of the last two houses, I got my car in the driveway and then finished what I started.
It was nice to feel good about humans for a change.
The cops here were getting stranded last time we had snow >.<
