Now That's Service!

This was a welcome sight – that came with a surprise.

So you've seen the video of the girls and Bridget shoveling the street. That was Friday. The storm came Thursday afternoon and by Friday morning, snow plows were clearing streets all over town. Except for our neighborhood. Saturday came and went, too, with no plow.

I talked to Bridget, who said she had called the city twice and emailed once. So after church, I jumped online to email my city councilman, Garry Gernandt. I expected this might get some action sometime Monday. Well, hopefully.

Three hours later, a heard the roar of a truck and looked outside. There was a plow – finally – doing its thing in the circle. I immediately sent a text to Bridget to let her know the good news. She encouraged me to thank him, so I used the opportunity to take out my garbage. Little did I know what a surprise I was in for. When I got close enough to say hello and thank him, I realized it was ... Garry Gernandt!

Not only has Garry received my vote for city council in the past, but he's got it for as long as he wants to keep being my city councilman. Thanks, Garry!

Here's my Facebook post about it.
