You learn 19 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: a little bit about your neighborhood, and you learn a 20 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: little bit about the people in the community. And there's 21 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff on there dealing with security issues 22 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: and you know, people have ring doorbells and they see 23 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: someone coming up and kind of fittling around with their 24 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: front door, and they post the video. So it's sort 25 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: of a new way to communicate and to in neighborhoods 26 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: where people tend to be isolated and tend to be alone. 27 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: This is one new method next door. I'm sure most 28 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: of you are familiar with it, and if you're not, H, 29 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: you can google it uh and and perhaps join it. 30 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: And I don't really participate in it, but I read 31 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: a lot UH and it's kind of a it's just 32 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: not your own little neighborhood, it's your town and which 33 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: you live in some of the contiguous towns, and you'll 34 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: learn a little bit about what's going on. So so 35 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: today I happened to read one that was posted H 36 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: and I'm going to mention the person's first name uh 37 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: an Odd a different name igor I g O r 38 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: Uh and his last name I don't want to pull 39 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: in his last name. And he was from a from 40 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: neighborhood from the again the next Door Neighborhood Association, And 41 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 2: that's what he wrote. Boston snowplows are dumping massive banks 42 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: right in front of driveways, making them impossible to clear, 43 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: could have put it between properties in dead anyone else 44 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: dealing with this, considering a class action against city hall. 45 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: And then he asked people to DM him direct message 46 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: him and gives them a couple of hashtag locations. Well, 47 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: you got a lot of response to it. Not all 48 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: of it was positive, some of it was negative. Some 49 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: of it said to him, well, what do you expect. 50 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you got to you got to deal with 51 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: snow in the wintertime. But it opened up the whole 52 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: conversation about you shovel your driveway and the plow comes 53 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: down the street and plows in the end of your driveway, 54 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: and some people you shovel your driveway again, but the 55 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: plow can't come down the street and sort of stop 56 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: before it gets to your driveway and lift the plow 57 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: so it doesn't plow anything at the end of your driveway. 58 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: It's frustrating, but it's part of the game. And then 59 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: in different parts of this you have places where, particularly 60 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: in South Boston, if you shovel out a parking space, 61 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: the rules of the road are that that's your parking 62 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: space and you put a space saver or an old 63 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: chair or something like that, or an Orange Cone and 64 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: if anybody takes your parking space the one you shoveled out, 65 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: it's it's sort of like, uh, you've heard a buyer beware. 66 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: This is this is almost a stealer beware because at 67 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: that point you never know what someone would do to 68 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: your car, which is not nice. But things have happened 69 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: and there are fights and all of that. So I 70 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: would love to hear your stories about this last weekend. 71 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: Did you shovel your driveway? Some some people are saying 72 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: now it's up to the cities and towns to clear sidewalks. 73 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: That it's you know, traditionally, some cities and towns enforced 74 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: this rule. They're they're more strict. They say, hey, if 75 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: you've got a sidewalk, even though the city owns the sidewalk, 76 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: you don't own the sidewalk. It's your responsibility to make 77 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: sure it's passable, and if not, the city's gonna find you. 78 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: So there's all sorts of questions here that I'd like 79 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: to dive into, but one of them is one of 80 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: the criticisms that were directed at this fella Igor. They said, well, 81 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: you can move to Florida if you don't like the snow. 82 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but then you're gonna have to worry about hurricanes. Well, ironically, 83 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: our first college tonight is a New England who now 84 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: lives in Florida.

It just was ironic. So I 186 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: want to know how did this last week go for you? 187 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: For me, it was interesting. I started working Sunday night 188 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: at the height of the storm. I was here from 189 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 2: all I was on the air from night to midnight, 190 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: and then last night I ended up back in studio 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: because the storm impacted me and I didn't have electricity. Though, 192 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: I must say this, and I'm going to compliment the 193 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: ever source workers. When I drove home last night, I 194 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 2: got back to my house, my my neighborhood about one 195 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning and I saw all sorts of lights, 196 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: and I thought to myself, Okay, they've left the trucks 197 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: there because we've been told the electricity would not be 198 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: back until seven in the morning, and I figured they 199 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: had wrapped been up for the night. As I got closer, 200 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: I noticed that there was one truck that had someone 201 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: in it who was working on a line. One of 202 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: the trucks was actually at one o'clock in the morning. 203 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: The guy was was working. Several of the other guys 204 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: were working. 205 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: Uh. 206 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: These these ever source workers worked through the night. Uh. 207 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: And uh it was only because of what they did 208 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: that I was able to get power back at eight 209 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: o'clock this morning. And of course there's been a long 210 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 2: warm up, as I'm sure you would understand. So remember, 211 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: even when you lose power, there's a lot of people 212 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: out there who are trying to get the power back 213 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: as as soon as possible. And you got to remember that. 214 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: But I want to know, snow shoveling, did you did 215 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: you respect the plows out there? We're told to respect 216 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: the plows. Uh. At the same time, Uh, there are 217 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 2: some complaints. As I said this, this one post on 218 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: next door received mixed complaints. Here he wants to sue 219 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: the City of Boston. I would love to know how 220 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: how did the city do? How did the other cities 221 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: do dealing with the snow that fell last weekend up 222 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: to and uh and then beyond the time that we 223 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: were watching a football game. Six one, seven, two, four, 224 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 2: ten thirty six, one seven, nine three one, ten thirty 225 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: And if you're in South Boston, love to know if 226 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: the law of the streets is still in a play. 227 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: It still applies over there. If you shovel it out, 228 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: how long are you allowed to keep the space? And 229 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: what do you do if someone moves your chair out 230 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: of your space? And when you come home after having 231 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: shovel that space out, there's another automobile in there are 232 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: What are the fear rules? What can you do? Okay? 233 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: Within reason? Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six, 234 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 2: one seven ninth, three one ten thirty. Nights Out with 235 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: Dan Ray on a Friday night, we're kind of slowing down, 236 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: easing into the weekend. We're going to do night next hour, 237 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: we'll be doing what grinds your gears on nights side, 238 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: twentieth hour of the week. And remember everyone has a 239 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: hall pass, which means if you've called earlier in the week, 240 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: and you'd like to participate in what grinds your gears. 241 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: Even if you called this hour, you have a hall pass, 242 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: meaning you can call a second time in the twentieth 243 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: hour of the week. That's a new rule on Nightside. 244 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 2: Actually it's been in effect a couple of years. Back 245 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: on Nightside, slight these lines up and how did it go? 246 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: Is your driveway finally shoveled? Is your front walk shoveled? 247 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: Are your front steps shoveled? I'll tell you one thing 248 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: I noticed that we never got any sort of a 249 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: visit from the mailman Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, which to 250 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: me is kind of interesting because that sort of goes 251 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: against the old adage that we heard about from the 252 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: post office that neither snow nor sleep, nor night freezing 253 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: rain nothing stopped the mailman. Well, this storm stopped the mailman, 254 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: I think for at least three days. On Thursday, we 255 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: got to stack of mail that would have choked a horse. 256 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: We'll be back on Nightside give us a yel right 257 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: after this. 258 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray, Boston's news Radio. 259 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: So essentially, I want to talk about snow shovelers versus 260 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: plow drivers, because you're doing the same thing, and the 261 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: plow driver obviously has the plow, and he or she 262 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: is able to move mountains of snow in a large 263 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: geographic area. You as the shoveler on your own property 264 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: or on someone else's property, you are intensely involved. Intensely involved, 265 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: i should say, in trying to clear a small area. 266 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: But it is certainly intensive. It's labor intensive. Now, if 267 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: you clear a driveway or you clear a sidewalk, you 268 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 2: clear the mouth. Sometimes people at driveways that are twenty 269 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: twenty five feet long or thirty feet long, just enough 270 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: to put a car in. So if you clear your 271 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: put your short driveway and the mouth of the driveway 272 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: to be able to get out on the street, and 273 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: you come out in the morning and the plow is 274 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: plugged has filled that in, you have to reshovel it 275 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: and probably throw it back on the street, which is 276 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: not a good idea. So I would love to know 277 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: as shovelers do you take a little more understanding of 278 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: what the plow. The plow can't stop at every driveway 279 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: and say, okay, I'm going to stop here, let me 280 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: put move my plow or put the snow over here 281 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: out of the way, and then I'll go past the driveway. 282 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: They are. They have no choice, I think, but to 283 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: plow you in, particularly in the first, you know, couple 284 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: of days of the storm. If you agree with me, 285 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: love to hear from me. If you're a plow driver. 286 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: I think many of us don't realize how tough it 287 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: is to be a plow driver. I mean, you're out there, 288 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: You've got a big shovel in the front of your 289 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: your truck, and people are out there walking around, they're shoveling. 290 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: Maybe you see them, maybe you don't. And in a 291 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: storm like this, where the mounds of snow have become 292 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: so high, you might not see that person who's about 293 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: to step out onto the streets. So you have to 294 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 2: be very alert as a snow shoveler. That's not a 295 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 2: great concern. Your concern is are you doing it? And 296 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 2: you're healthy enough, so I'd let you just get a 297 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 2: little quick conversation going, making sure they're all a little 298 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: more cooperative and understanding of people who are doing the 299 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: same thing we are in another set of circumstances, That's 300 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: all I'm saying. And if you happen to be somebody 301 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 2: who has shoveled out and you feel really strongly about 302 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 2: space savers. I understand that I'm with you on that. 303 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: And if somebody comes and moves your chair or moves 304 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: your pylon and then parks in your space that you 305 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: have shoveled out and you're living in Southie or somewhere 306 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 2: like that, whether it's West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Wherever, Dorchester, Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, Charlestown, 307 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: anywhere North End, you bet you're going to be upset. 308 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 2: Let's take a break. We got the news. We'll get back. 309 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: A bunch of you try on a call in and 310 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: seem to be dropping off. I got John and Quincy 311 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 2: all said, I got some open lines. We'll have some 312 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 2: fun with this until eleven o'clock. Love to hear different perspectives, 313 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: and then at eleven we are going to go to 314 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: what grinds your gears. I think the best we could 315 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 2: figure out was we haven't done that since last April. 316 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: So again, hall passes are available, which means you can 317 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 2: call in in the twentieth hour even if you've called 318 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: in in any of the prior nineteen hours during the week, 319 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: and in my case, there were prior there were twenty 320 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 2: two hours because we had three hours on Sunday night 321 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: which were extras as well as the nineteen that we're 322 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: working now in our number nineteen. You have the numbers, Oh, 323 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: I got it. It was call six, one, seven, two, five, four, 324 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: ten thirty six, one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. 325 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: Joined the conversation back after this one night Side. 326 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w BZY, 327 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: Boston's news radio. 328 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: Rob was telling me during the break that the community 329 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 2: in which he lives, which shall remain anonymous, actually tickets 330 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: people for not shoveling their sidewalk. And Rob has gotten 331 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: I think he said, at least two warnings, has yet 332 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 2: to be fined.

I'm coming 535 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 10: out of my house and three people are getting on 536 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 10: my porch and I'm like, can I help you? And 537 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 10: they're like, uh, do we parking your spot? 538 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 5: We leave early in the morning. That's absolutely not. 539 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 2: So they was. They're like vultures. They know that you're going. 540 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: They must know what you do and what time you 541 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: go to work. And so they're saying, great, she'll give 542 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: us the right to park in her spot, and then 543 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: we will guarantee that we're out of there by seven 544 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: o'clock when she gets home. You know, Elaine, that's not 545 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: a bad deal when you think about it, because if 546 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: they were actually gonna move out at seven o'clock in 547 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: the morning, that would be perfect timing for when you 548 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: come home. What do you do if you show up 549 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: tomorrow morning and someone other than other than they have 550 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 2: parked in your spot? What's your response? 551 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 10: But my spot is in front of the driveway. Oh 552 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 10: they could they should have been behind me. Is a handicap. 553 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 10: My mother has a handicap parking spot. So we cleaned 554 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 10: out that whole area. Okay, and we have two cars. 555 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 10: She parks in front of the handicap and I park 556 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 10: in front of the driveway. 557 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so I hold out. 558 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 10: I had her pull up so she could sit right 559 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 10: in the middle, so nobody could park either way. 560 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 2: Okay. So so she basically takes the handicap space, which 561 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 2: is legal, and you park in front of it's are 562 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 2: you the only drive is it your driveway? That nobody 563 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: else uses your driveway? 564 00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 9: No? 565 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 10: Just me usually in the driveway, but all that snow, 566 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 10: I wasn't doing all that shoveling. 567 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I totally get it. I totally get it. 568 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: And what do you do if you park in the driveway? 569 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 2: You come out at you know, ten thirty to go 570 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 2: to work at night, and someone his has happened, that 571 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: has happened. 572 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 10: I've had to call the police. 573 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 2: One of the one of the great things about living 574 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: in an urban area is you have to deal with 575 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: other people. 576 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, if you were. 577 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: Living somewhere outside of Greater Boston, you probably wouldn't have 578 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: that problem, but it's a tough problem to deal with. 579 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: The reality is, you want to be a nice person 580 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: and you want to help people, but at the same time, 581 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 2: you don't want to be taken advantage of who shoveled you. 582 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: Who shoveled you? 583 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 10: You did, you did, My sister and I did the shoveling. 584 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 10: That's why I said, nobody's talking man, not after all. 585 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 2: That good for you? Good for you. I like you. 586 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that's that's the task. And that snow was heavy. 587 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: Even though it was light snow, there was a lot 588 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 2: of it. I shoveled my driveway and it was a workout. 589 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess I'll have to deal with that. Wait 590 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 10: and see what happens on Sunday. 591 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: No, I think we're gonna be okay.

I don't 599 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 2: think you're gonna have much of a problem whatsoever. If 600 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: you'll get some flourries, but that'll be about it. 601 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 5: I'll tackle the driveway, but it warms up a little bit. 602 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be a while though, so don't it'll 603 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 2: be a while.

But I can now be considered elderly 637 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 7: because I turned sixty five a couple months ago. 638 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 2: You're a kid, Come on, you're a young kid at 639 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 2: sixty five. Don't tell me. 640 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:49,959 Speaker 7: Unfortunately, fortunately Quinsy, Uh, there's no ordinance that requires homeowners 641 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 7: to clear the snow off the sidewalks a lot of 642 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 7: you know, in a lot of neighborhoods and Quincy, it's 643 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 7: almost irrelevant because people their cars on the sidewalks anyways, 644 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 7: and especially in the tight neighborhoods, and it's horrendous and quinsy. 645 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 7: It looks like a snow war zone. All the people 646 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 7: that live in all the apartment buildings and multi film 647 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 7: my houses, they park on the street so they just 648 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 7: shovel out their car. Then they leave these huge towers 649 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 7: of snow between the cars that I can't imagine having 650 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 7: to park like that. I have a driveway, and I did, 651 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 7: and I have a snowblower, so I do The elderly 652 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 7: lady next door to me, I do her house, and 653 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 7: I help out my neighbors around me, you know, on 654 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 7: these big snowstorms, and they're so happy when I show 655 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 7: up with the snowblower and like save them hours of background. 656 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: Absolutely, But here's what I don't understand, Scott, I don't 657 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 2: understand why more people Now you bought a snowblower. Again, 658 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: you tell me your elderly because now you're sixty five, 659 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 2: you're still a young man, so you can handle a snowblower. 660 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 2: Snowblowers it's a heavy piece of equipment. Why are more 661 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 2: people not willing or do teenagers not exist? To find 662 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 2: a teenager in your neighborhood and say, hey, you know, 663 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: I don't know how it's going to snow next winter. 664 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 2: But every time it snows, come on over and I'll 665 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 2: give you whatever the number is. You know, you know, 666 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 2: you know, five dollars per inch. So if it's a 667 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 2: two inch snowstorm, it's easy pushing around. You got ten bucks. 668 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 2: If it's a ten inch snowstorm, you got you got 669 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 2: fifty bucks to do my front walk. I mean, depending 670 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 2: upon the size. Why don't they they come up with 671 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 2: a plane so that that when it snows in January 672 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 2: or early February, it's not like they're shocked and never 673 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 2: expected a snowstorm. 674 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 7: I know, I know. I when I was a kid, 675 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 7: I made a lot of money shoveling snow to buy 676 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 7: model airplanes and things like that. 677 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 678 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 7: That was in the seventies and eighties. 679 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, but our kids not. I think kids probably today. 680 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 2: I had a sound old by saying kids by using 681 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 2: the phrase kids today. But I suspect that a lot 682 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 2: of them are so enraptured with their computers and TikTok 683 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 2: and all the different reels that they watch, they they 684 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 2: would rather sit at home and play with their computer, 685 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 2: whatever games they're on or whatever, as opposed to go 686 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: all to make a few bucks. 687 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 3: I know. 688 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 7: And here's the thing about snowblowers that everyone should really know. 689 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 7: Don't put gasoline from the gas station in your snowblower 690 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 7: and your gas can without putting that ethanol and stabilize 691 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 7: or compound in the gas. And if you really want 692 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 7: to be good to your snowblower, go to the power 693 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 7: equipment store or the big box store and buy ethanol 694 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 7: free gas. It makes a huge, huge difference on how 695 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 7: well the carburetors hold up and your snowblower is going 696 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:56,959 Speaker 7: to start the next year. 697 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 2: I have never owned a snowblower in my life. I've 698 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 2: never wanted to own a snowblower in my life. I 699 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 2: just thought to myself that a snowblower now is going 700 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: to cost what a couple thousand dollars. 701 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's ridiculous, fifteen hundred bucks for a snowblower. Thousand dollars. 702 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 2: Well you could, you could with cash, convince kids to 703 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 2: shovel your driveway and probably save a little bit of 704 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 2: money and avoid the aggravation of having to change the 705 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 2: oil or change the gasoline or whatever you have to 706 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 2: do to keep it up and running. 707 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 6: So just a thought, oh yeah, just thought, I've found 708 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 6: more than a few snowblowers in my neighbor's trash, taking 709 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 6: them home, cleaned the carbureters, and then you know, made 710 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 6: five or six hundred bucks selling them. 711 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 7: Good believe that. 712 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 2: Okay, you're you're an entrepreneur, Scott. I gotta get one 713 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 2: more INNY. I'm gonna let you run, buddy, be well, 714 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 2: have a great weekend. Thanks God.

I grow it ahead. 716 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 11: I'm calling because winter is winter. It is because we 717 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 11: the last four or five years off from harsh winters. 718 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 11: Doesn't mean it's not going to return. And it also 719 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 11: means that it's the way it always was. I have 720 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 11: a great big snowblower.

I think it's silly to use it 726 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 11: in three and four inches of snow, but I used 727 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 11: it the last few days, and boy, oh boy, what 728 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 11: a fabulous machine.
