They&rsquo;re all sitting on the I-15 waiting to be turned around and sent home or over to Big Bear. That is, if Big Bear has their roads cleared.<\/p>\n<p>Right now my town is cut off. Can&rsquo;t get to the freeway, and even the back ways out of town are closed.

Some new neighbors moved in and apparently weren&rsquo;t told that we live on a private street. That means they didn&rsquo;t know that they were going to be responsible for digging <em><strong>themselves<\/strong><\/em> out of the snow if they had to go somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ll see how long they last&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One family didn&rsquo;t even think to buy snow shovels. I guess they figured they were buying a house in Disneyland where everything would be magically done for them.<\/p>\n<p>Muhahahah! Welcome to reality!<\/p>\n<p>In truth we do help each other out, but the look on the new neighbor&rsquo;s face was really funny when we dropped the bomb on &lsquo;em. I loaned them a couple of spare shovels.<\/p>\n<p>I refrained from saying, &ldquo;<em><strong>Now get to work<\/strong><\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I was tempted but didn&rsquo;t.&nbsp;I guess they&rsquo;re from Los Angeles. They were freaked out enough.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, they probably paid too much for their new house and that means my property value went up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stay warm &amp; safe. If you don&rsquo;t have to be out on the roads stay home. You can shop tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I should be calling it The Day After Which I&rsquo;ll be watching later today.
